Memcached is a famous distributed memory caching platform, which can increase the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites considerably if they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so when a customer searches for a specific product on your website, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the entire operation will be executed much quicker. This goes for all types of database-driven applications and not only for web shops, as anytime a given web page is accessed, the application sends a database query to fetch the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open significantly faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors will not see any outdated information.
Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting
You can make use of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux cloud web hosting offered by us. It’s available as an upgrade, which you can acquire with just a couple of clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached as soon as you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will offer you more versatility depending on the Internet sites that you wish to use it for. The first part concerns the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the system memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can add more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have added, the more data will be cached, which may be a very good idea for high-demand sites with large-sized databases and lots of visitors. Thus, you can optimize the overall performance of any script-driven site hosted on our servers without effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you buy one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can activate it with only a couple of clicks. The memory caching platform is suitable for any script-based app like Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-made app, and depending on your necessities, you’ll be able to choose two separate features – how many sites will use the Memcached platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much information will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you’ve got a regularly visited Internet site with lots of data, you can order one instance and a larger amount of memory. Memcached will enhance the performance of your websites shortly after you activate it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy better load speeds.
Memcached in VPS
Memcached is offered by default with every virtual private server offered by our company as long as you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not have to pay anything extra to be able to use the power of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful package you select, the more memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you will have no less than several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you would get with a shared hosting package. This will enable you to use Memcached for a lot of websites, no matter how busy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading the VPS. The Memcached caching system is excellent for script-powered software applications such as OpenCart, Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-built app. Soon after you enable Memcached, it will start storing data and you will detect the enhanced overall performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
Memcached comes free of charge with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages offered by our company and the one and only requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-powered Internet site, including those based on widely used web applications – for instance, a WordPress personal blog or a Joomla™-powered social networking website. Each dedicated server comes with a certain amount of system memory that Memcached can employ, but the minimum you will get is 3 GB, which is quite enough to optimize the load speed of extremely large websites immensely, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The Memcached system will begin storing information as soon as it is activated, so shortly thereafter, you’ll notice the enhanced performance of your Internet sites and the reduced load on the server. A lot of sites use Memcached to increase their effectiveness, including popular ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
