Memcached is a widespread distributed memory caching system, which can improve the speed and the performance of your sites drastically if they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so if a visitor conducts a search for a particular product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the whole procedure will be completed considerably quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-powered apps and not only for e-stores, since every time a particular page is accessed, the application sends a query to its database to fetch the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open considerably faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached responses will also be updated, so the visitors won’t see any outdated info.
Memcached in Website Hosting
The Memcached distributed memory caching system is available as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux website hosting package offered by us and you’ll be able to begin using it once you add it, since the extension that it needs so as to function properly is already present on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform. You can order the upgrade through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is offered with each and every plan and a brand new section where you can manage Memcached will appear. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the number of instances and the amount of memory, so as to give you more freedom. The first one shows the number of the sites that can use Memcached, whereas the second, which comes in increments of 16 MB, defines the total size of the content that the system can cache. A frequently visited Internet site with a large-size database may need more memory to take an even bigger advantage of Memcached, so in case you would like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any given point with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you acquire one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the sites hosted in your semi-dedicated server hosting account, you can add it with just a few mouse clicks. The object caching platform is ideal for any script-driven software application like WordPress, Joomla™, or even an in-house made one, and depending on your demands, you will be able to choose two different things – how many sites will use Memcached, i.e. the number of instances; and how much information will be cached, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you’ve got a traffic-consuming website with a lot of content, you can get one instance and a large amount of memory. The Memcached caching platform will accelerate the performance of your sites soon after you enable it and both you and your visitors will enjoy faster load speeds.
Memcached in VPS Hosting
Memcached comes by default with every virtual private server that we’re offering as long as you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you won’t need to pay any extra money to be able to take advantage of the power of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful VPS hosting package you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting package. This will allow you to use the Memcached system for numerous sites, no matter how busy they are, which in turn means that you can use a less powerful plan for them without overloading your server. The Memcached caching system is excellent for script-based web applications like Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-made app. Soon after you activate Memcached, it will start storing content and you’ll detect the improved overall performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting
Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using this data caching system the moment your dedicated server is assembled, without the need to activate or upgrade anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use depends on the dedicated server that you’ve selected, but as our servers are astonishingly powerful and given the fact that it’s likely that you will host resource-intensive sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be 3 GB. This will enable you to improve the performance of extremely large Internet sites with ease and you’ll observe the difference soon after the Memcached caching system starts caching database requests. You can take advantage of the Memcached caching system with any database-driven site, including those based on famous CMSs such as WordPress and Joomla™.
