Memcached is a widespread memory caching platform, which can accelerate the loading speed and the performance of your sites considerably if they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so when a user conducts a search for some product on your website, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the entire procedure will be performed considerably faster. That goes for all types of database-powered apps and not only for web stores, as anytime a given page is accessed, the app sends a query to its database to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site load considerably faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the users will not see any old information.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
The Memcached memory caching system comes as an upgrade with each and every cloud plan offered by us and you will be able to start using it as soon as you activate it, as the extension that it requires so as to run properly is already present on our avant-garde cloud platform. You can order the upgrade through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is available with each shared web hosting plan and a brand new section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the number of instances and the amount of memory, so as to give you more freedom. The first one shows the number of the websites that can use Memcached, while the second one, which is available in increments of 16 megabytes, specifies the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A frequently visited Internet site with a large-size database may need more memory to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you need to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any given moment with a few clicks of the mouse.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached distributed memory object caching system as an upgrade with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and since it works with any script-powered software app, you can use it for each site that you host on our platform, regardless of what app you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom-developed app, etc. You can request the upgrade from the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two different features – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. In simple terms, these things show the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached and the amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your content. The two things are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can take advantage of Memcached with any kind of site and both you and your website visitors will swiftly see the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes by default with each and every VPS server that we are offering as long as you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not have to pay anything extra to be able to use the full potential of this caching system. The more powerful VPS package you choose, the more system memory Memcached will have for data caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you would get with a shared web hosting plan. This will permit you to use the Memcached caching system for a lot of sites, irrespective of how heavy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end package for them without overloading the virtual machine. The caching system is ideal for script-powered applications such as OpenCart, WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-made app. Soon after you activate the Memcached caching system, it will begin storing content and you’ll perceive the optimized performance of your websites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached comes for free with all dedicated web hosting plans that we offer and the sole condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the data caching system for any database-driven Internet site, including those that are based on popular web applications – for example, a WordPress personal weblog or a Joomla™-driven community portal. Each dedicated machine comes with a particular amount of memory that Memcached can use, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to accelerate the load speed of very busy sites seriously, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The Memcached system will begin caching content once it’s activated, so soon after that, you’ll detect the enhanced overall performance of your sites and the reduced load on your dedicated server. Many sites use the Memcached caching system to boost their effectiveness, including famous ones such as Wikipedia and Reddit.
