Memcached is a famous distributed memory object caching system, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites considerably in case they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so if a visitor conducts a search for some product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole procedure will be executed notably quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-driven applications and not only for online shopping portals, since anytime a specific page is accessed, the application sends a database query to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site open significantly faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any data in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the website visitors won’t see any outdated info.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
If you host script-powered websites in a shared hosting account with our company, you can add the Memcached content caching system to your web hosting package with only a few mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the PHP extension required for it is already installed on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can add memory as many times as you need. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you’ve got a resource-demanding site with lots of data, you may need more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can add Memcached to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we’re offering and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven site hosted by us. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can select two things – the instances and the amount of system memory. These things indicate how many websites can use Memcached and how much system memory it will use to store your info. You can choose them separately, since one instance is not linked to a particular amount of memory, so you can use lots of memory for one resource-consuming Internet site, for example. This feature is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can get as much memory as you need. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-driven site regardless of its nature, including those based on widespread web-based apps like Joomla™, WordPress or Drupal™, and lots of companies such as Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to optimize the performance of their websites.
Memcached in VPS Hosting
When you get a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no additional charge, as the data caching platform comes with all virtual machines that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you have large-scale Internet sites, you can optimize their performance with ease and the reduced load on the VPS server will enable you to continue using your current Virtual Private Server package instead of migrating to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to store info depends on the plan that you are using, but even with a less powerful one, you will get no less than several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be incredible. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-driven app, regardless of whether you have developed it yourself or you are using a ready-for-use one like WordPress, OpenCart or Joomla™.
Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you buy one of our Linux dedicated hosting services and if you choose Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel on the order page, you’ll get the Memcached data caching platform as standard and you can set it up for any site that you host on the server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching info as people access your website, so you’ll detect the effects of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the caching platform is three gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to use the caching platform for a large number of sites or for an extremely busy website without weakening its effectiveness. The Memcached platform will allow you to accelerate the loading speed of any database-driven site very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online journal, an OpenCart e-shop, etc., and to improve the overall performance of your dedicated server.
