Memcached is a commonly used caching system, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your sites tremendously in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so when a customer searches for a specific product on your Internet site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the entire operation will be completed considerably faster. This is valid for all kinds of database-powered apps and not only for online shops, since every time a given page is accessed, the application sends a request to its database to fetch the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open considerably faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be updated, so the visitors won’t see any out-of-date info.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
When you host script-driven sites in a cloud hosting account with our company, you can add the Memcached distributed memory caching system to your shared web hosting plan with only a couple of clicks through your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the required PHP extension is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of system memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you need. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you’ve got a busy site with lots of data, you may need more memory so as to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can add the Memcached content caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we’re offering and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can choose two features – the instances and the amount of memory. These things show how many sites can use the Memcached caching platform and how much system memory it will use to cache your info. You can choose them separately, since a given instance is not linked to a particular amount of system memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single resource-requiring website, for example. This feature is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you want. The platform can be used with any script-powered website regardless of its type, including those based on widely used apps like Drupal, Joomla or WordPress, and plenty of companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to enhance the overall performance of their websites.
Memcached in VPS Servers
When you acquire a VPS server from our company, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional cost, as the memory caching platform comes with all VPSs ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you own resource-hungry Internet sites, you will be able to improve their overall performance with ease and the lowered load on your virtual machine will permit you to continue using your current Virtual Private Server hosting plan rather than migrating to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache data depends on the package that you are using, but even with a less powerful one, you will have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is considerably more than what you’d get with a shared plan, so the website performance boost will be immense. You can use Memcached with any database-powered app, regardless of whether you’ve built it on your own or you’re using a ready-to-use one such as WordPress, OpenCart or Joomla.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
If you buy one of our dedicated web hosting plans and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel during the signup process, you’ll get the Memcached content caching platform as standard and you can activate it for each website that you host on the dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching data as people open your site, so you will notice the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to use the caching platform for numerous sites or for an extremely popular site without weakening its effectiveness. The Memcached platform will enable you to boost the load speed of any database-powered site very quickly – a Joomla portal, a WordPress online diary, an OpenCart e-store, etcetera, and to boost the overall performance of your dedicated server.
