Memcached is a commonly used distributed memory object caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the performance of your websites immensely in case they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so when a client conducts a search for a given product on your Internet site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be completed noticeably quicker. This goes for all sorts of database-driven apps and not only for online stores, since anytime a specific web page is visited, the app connects to its database to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site open significantly faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors will not see any out-of-date information.
Memcached in Shared Web Hosting
If you host script-driven sites in a shared web hosting account with us, you will be able to add the Memcached content caching system to your shared web hosting plan with just a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the needed PHP extension is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 MB and you can add memory whenever you need. Naturally, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you manage a heavy-traffic website with lots of content, you may need more memory so as to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can get the Memcached caching system as an upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting services and since it works with any script-driven software app, you can use it for any Internet site that you host on our servers, no matter what app you have used – WordPress, Mambo or Joomla™, a custom-built application, etc. You can request the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated account, and you can choose two different features – the instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things determine how many websites will use the Memcached caching system and the total amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to store your data. The two things are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of system memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any kind of website and both you and your site visitors will swiftly perceive the difference in the overall performance.
Memcached in VPS Web Hosting
You will get Memcached with each of the virtual private server plans offered by us if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the memory caching platform through the Control Panel section with the exact same name. The setup requires a couple of clicks and you will distinguish the difference in the overall performance of your websites almost instantaneously. The amount of memory that Memcached can employ to cache info depends on the given Virtual Private Server package that you’ve selected, but at any rate it won’t be less than several hundred megabytes, which is quite enough even for multiple data-loaded Internet sites. You can use the Memcached platform with websites based on Joomla™, WordPress or any other Internet application and reduce the load on your Virtual Private Server, which will enable you to keep using the current VPS hosting package instead of moving to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by famous websites such as Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which verifies its efficiency.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting
When you acquire one of our Linux dedicated hosting services and if you select Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel on the order page, you’ll get Memcached by default and you can use it with any website that you host on the dedicated server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching information as users access your site, so you’ll notice the effects of using it soon after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for plenty of Internet sites or for a very large website without weakening its effectiveness. The Memcached caching platform will enable you to accelerate any database-driven website in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online diary, an OpenCart store, etc., and to enhance the overall performance of your dedicated machine.
