What our engineers handle on Memcached
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Size memory and connections for the application
- 2Bind to localhost or a private network and block UDP
- 3Integrate with PHP, WordPress or your framework and confirm cache hits
- 4Monitor hit ratio, evictions and uptime
Problems we fix
Problem
The hit rate is poor and the database is still busy
What we do
We check keys, expirations and the application's cache use, and adjust memory and the code path that misses.
Problem
Memcached is listening on a public address
What we do
We rebind it to localhost or the private network, close the firewall hole and check traffic logs.
Problem
Cache entries disappear too quickly
What we do
We review memory limits and evictions and raise the allocation or reduce what is cached.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Metrics agent draws CPU, memory, disk and network charts, sampled every five minutes.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
- Backup agent runs scheduled backups at 02:00 IST to storage we provide or to your own SFTP or S3 box, with help restoring.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about Memcached
Memcached or Redis?
Memcached is simple and fast for plain caching; Redis does more (persistence, data types, queues). We recommend one after looking at what your application needs.
Can Memcached improve my slow site?
It can, when the slowness is database load that caching removes. We measure first so we only add it where it helps.
What does it cost to have Memcached managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and Memcached is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
