Memcached is a widely used data caching system, which can boost the loading speed and the performance of your websites tremendously if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so if a client searches for some product on your website, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the whole operation will be performed noticeably quicker. That goes for all types of database-powered apps and not only for web shops, since every time a specific web page is opened, the application sends a query to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any data in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be updated, so the users won’t see any out-of-date information.
Memcached in Web Hosting
Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each web hosting plan offered by us and if you would like to use it for any script-powered website that you host on our advanced cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in several simple steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be offered the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache info, so for multiple websites (or for one traffic-intensive site), you should get more memory for improved performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any moment. With Memcached, every script-driven Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will open faster than the speed of light.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can get the Memcached memory caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-based software app, you can use it for any website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what app you have used – Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress, a custom-developed application, etc. You can request the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things define the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached and the maximum amount of system memory that the system will be able to use to cache your content. The two features are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a particular amount of system memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any sort of site and both you and your website visitors will quickly distinguish the difference in the overall performance.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
If you get a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra fee, as the content caching platform is offered with all virtual machines that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you run popular Internet sites, you can increase their performance without effort and the decreased load on your VPS will enable you to keep using your current plan rather than moving to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that the Memcached platform can use to cache content depends on the package that you are using, but even with a less powerful one, you will have at least several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-driven web app, regardless of whether you have written it yourself or you’re using a ready-made one like WordPress, Joomla™ or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you acquire one of our Linux dedicated hosting services and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel during the order process, you will get the Memcached object caching platform as standard and you can enable it for any site that you host on the dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching info as people open your website, so you’ll notice the effect of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to use the platform for plenty of websites or for a very heavy site without weakening its efficacy. The Memcached platform will permit you to improve the loading speed of any database-driven website very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online blog, an OpenCart web shop, etc., and to improve the overall performance of your dedicated server.
