Memcached is a widely used memory caching system, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your websites greatly in case they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so when someone conducts a search for some product on your Internet site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the whole task will be performed notably quicker. That goes for all types of database-driven apps and not only for shopping portals, as every time a page is opened, the application sends a query to its database to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached responses will also be updated, so the users won’t see any out-of-date info.
Memcached in Website Hosting
You can make use of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux website hosting packages that we’re offering. It’s offered as an upgrade, which you can obtain with just a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using Memcached once you add it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will offer you more freedom depending on the Internet sites that you wish to use it for. The first one specifies the number of the sites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have, the more data will be cached, which may be a very good idea for high-traffic websites with large databases and numerous concurrent visitors. Thus, you can increase the speed of every script-driven website hosted on our servers with ease.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can add the Memcached memory caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated packages that we’re offering and use its full potential for any script-driven website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can choose two things – the instances and the memory. These things specify how many websites can use the Memcached caching platform and the amount of system memory that it will use to cache your data. You can choose them separately, since one instance is not linked to a specific amount of memory, so you can use lots of memory for a single resource-hungry website, for instance. This feature is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you want. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-powered site irrespective of its nature, including those based on widely used software apps like Drupal™, WordPress or Joomla™, and many companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to increase the loading speed of their sites.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
When you buy a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra charge, as the data caching platform comes with all VPSs that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you have busy sites, you’ll be able to boost their overall performance with ease and the reduced load on your virtual machine will allow you to keep your current package instead of switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache content depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a lower-end one, you will have no less than several hundred MB, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared package, so the website performance boost will be incredible. You can use Memcached with any database-driven application, no matter if you’ve written it yourself or you’re using a ready-for-use one like OpenCart, WordPress or Joomla™.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you order one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the signup process, you will get the Memcached data caching platform as standard and you can use it with any website that you host on your server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching info as people access your Internet site, so you’ll notice the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will enable you to use the caching platform for a large number of sites or for an extremely busy site without compromising its efficacy. The Memcached platform will permit you to enhance the load speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online blog, an OpenCart web shop, etcetera, and to optimize the overall performance of your dedicated machine.
