Memcached is a widely used memory caching platform, which can enhance the loading speed and the performance of your sites immensely in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so when a user searches for a given product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the whole procedure will be executed noticeably quicker. This goes for all types of database-driven applications and not only for e-stores, as every time a specific web page is accessed, the application sends a database query to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load much 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 will not see any old information.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
When you host script-powered sites in a cloud hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached distributed memory caching system to your web hosting package with just a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the extension needed for it is already installed on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that Memcached will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory whenever you want. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so if you manage a large site with lots of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the caching platform’s activation requires a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension that it requires is pre-installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using the Memcached platform the moment you add it to your account. You will be able to select how many Internet sites can use it and how much info can be cached, i.e. there’re two separate upgradable features – the instances and the memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very popular, for instance, you can always get more memory. Our system is stunningly flexible in this regard and we do not tie a particular number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform to accelerate any script-driven Internet site, including those based on popular applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.
Memcached in VPS Servers
You will get Memcached with each of the VPS server plans that we offer if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you will be able to activate the caching platform through the Control Panel section with the very same name. The configuration takes a couple of clicks of the mouse and you will notice the difference in the performance of your websites almost instantly. The amount of system memory that Memcached can take advantage of to store info depends on the particular VPS package that you have chosen, but in any case it won’t be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for multiple resource-heavy websites. You can use the Memcached platform with websites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other application and reduce the load on your VPS server, which will enable you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server hosting package instead of migrating to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by famous websites like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which proves its effectiveness.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached is available for free with all dedicated service offered by us and the only requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory object caching system for any database-driven Internet site, including those that are based on popular web applications – for example, a WordPress online diary or a Joomla™-powered social networking website. Each dedicated server is tied to a certain amount of memory that Memcached can employ, but the minimum you will get is 3 gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to accelerate extremely large sites substantially, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The system will begin storing info once it is activated, so shortly after that, you’ll detect the optimized performance of your sites and the decreased load on your server. A lot of Internet sites use the Memcached system to improve their effectiveness, among them popular ones such as Wikipedia and Reddit.
