Memcached in Shared Website Hosting
Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each shared website hosting account offered by our company and in case you want to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in a few easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll be offered the option to upgrade two different things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the websites that can use the Memcached object caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a number of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache content, so for lots of sites (or for one busy site), you’d better get more memory for improved performance. The memory is available in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be added at any time. With the Memcached caching system, each script-based Internet site hosted on our servers will load faster than the speed of light.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you decide to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached easily, as the object caching platform’s setup takes a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that it requires is pre-installed on our servers, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you add it to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much info can be cached, i.e. there’re two separate features that can be upgraded – the instances and the amount of system memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely popular, for example, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is quite flexible in this regard and we don’t bind a specific number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform to improve the loading speed of any script-powered site, including those based on widely used applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is available as standard with all Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it needs to function correctly is compiled when the VPS is set up, so you can start using the distributed memory object caching platform the moment your brand-new Virtual Private Server is completely ready. The memory that the Memcached caching platform can use depends on the given Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the lower-end plans, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will allow you to increase the performance of multiple websites hosted on the server simultaneously and to decrease the load on the virtual machine even if you have resource-hungry script-based web pages with numerous visitors. The Memcached caching platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Joomla™ or Drupal™, or a custom-built one, and you will observe the better performance shortly after you start using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated servers offered by us and the one and only requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-powered site, including those that are based on widely used web apps – for example, a WordPress personal diary or a Joomla™-driven community web portal. Each dedicated machine is tied to a specific amount of memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum you will get is 3 gigabytes, which is quite enough to enhance the speed of very popular websites considerably, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The system will start caching info as soon as it is activated, so soon after that, you’ll detect the enhanced overall performance of your websites and the reduced load. Many websites use Memcached to increase their efficiency, including famous ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
