Memcached is a popular caching platform, which can increase the speed and the performance of your websites significantly in case they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the replies that are returned, 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 entire task will be completed notably faster. This goes for all types of database-driven apps and not only for online shopping portals, since anytime a given page is opened, the app sends a request to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load significantly faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be updated, so the website visitors will not see any old info.
Memcached in Web Hosting
Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each web hosting package that we’re offering and if you would like to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to order it in several easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will get the option to upgrade two different things – the instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use Memcached at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache data, so for a lot of websites (or for one single popular site), you should get more memory for improved performance. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any point. With Memcached, any script-based site hosted on our servers will load extra-fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you will find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated server hosting account, you can add it with just a few mouse clicks. The content caching platform is suitable for any script-based application like Joomla™, WordPress, or even an in-house built one, and depending on your needs, you’ll be able to choose two separate features – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much information will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not tied to each other, so if you’ve got a popular Internet site with a lot of data, you can order one instance and a large amount of memory. The Memcached caching platform will enhance the performance of your sites shortly after you enable it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy faster load times.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes by default with every VPS server that we’re offering provided that you select Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay any extra money to be able to make the most of the maximum potential of this object caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server plan you choose, the more memory Memcached will have for content storage purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes all the time, which is much more than what you would get with a shared package. This will enable you to use Memcached for lots of websites, regardless of how large they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading the Virtual Private Server. The Memcached caching system is perfect for script-based web applications such as Joomla™, OpenCart, WordPress or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-created app. Shortly after you activate Memcached, it will begin storing info and you will notice the improved performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
When you acquire any of our Linux dedicated service and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel at signup, you’ll get the Memcached caching platform as standard and you can set it up for any site that you host on your dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin storing content as users access your website, so you’ll detect the effect of using it soon thereafter. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to take advantage of the platform for a large number of sites or for a very busy website without weakening its efficacy. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to accelerate the loading speed of any database-powered Internet site very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress weblog, an OpenCart web shop, etc., and to enhance the overall performance of your server.
