Memcached is a widely used distributed memory object caching platform, which can accelerate the loading speed and the performance of your Internet sites immensely if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so if a customer conducts a search for a given product on your website, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the whole procedure will be completed noticeably quicker. That goes for all sorts of database-driven applications and not only for web stores, as anytime a web page is opened, the app sends a request to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open considerably faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be updated, so the visitors won’t see any old info.
Memcached in Website Hosting
Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each and every website hosting package offered by us and in case you would like to use it for any script-based site that you host on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in a few easy steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be given the option to upgrade two separate things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that the system will be allowed to use in order to cache info, so for plenty of sites (or for one large site), you’d better order more memory for better performance. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, any script-powered site hosted on our cloud servers will load extra-fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you choose to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached easily, since the platform’s activation takes several mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension that is required is pre-installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to choose how many websites can use it and how much data it will cache, in other words – there’re two separate features that can be upgraded – the instances and the amount of memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very popular, for example, you can always order more memory. Our system is rather flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a specific number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to increase the speed of any script-driven Internet site, including those that are based on popular Internet applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.
Memcached in VPS Servers
When you purchase a VPS server from our company, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra cost, as the object caching platform is offered with all Virtual Private Servers ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you own traffic-intensive Internet sites, you can optimize their overall performance without any effort and the reduced load on the server will enable you to keep your current plan rather than switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached platform can use to cache info depends on the package that you are using, but even with a low-end one, you’ll get at least several hundred MB, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be considerable. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-powered web app, irrespective of whether you have developed it on your own or you are using a ready-for-use one like Joomla™, WordPress or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we are offering if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the dedicated server with only several clicks of the mouse. You can increase the overall performance of any Internet site, no matter what script-driven software app you rely on or how large the site is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to use is three gigabytes and this amount grows immensely with the higher-end servers. Shortly after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching content each time somebody opens your website, so, once sufficient information has been cached, you will perceive the reduced load on the dedicated server and the enhanced performance of your website. Memcached is used by plenty of websites, among them famous portals like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which is an evidence of the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
