Memcached is a popular caching platform, which can enhance the loading speed and the performance of your sites immensely if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so if somebody searches for a given product on your website, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the whole operation will be carried out considerably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-driven apps and not only for shopping portals, since anytime a specific web page is opened, the app connects to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open much faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any data in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any outdated info.
Memcached in Shared Web Hosting
You can take advantage of the Memcached memory caching system with all shared web hosting offered by our company. It is offered as an upgrade, which you can obtain with only a couple of mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can start using the Memcached caching system once you add it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will offer you more freedom depending on the sites that you’d like to use it for. The first part shows the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you’ve got, the more content will be cached, which may be a pretty good idea for high-demand sites with large-size databases and plenty of simultaneous visitors. In this way, you can supercharge the speed of any script-driven site hosted on our cloud servers with no effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached object caching system as an upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-based web app, you can use it for any website that you host on our servers, irrespective of what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla or WordPress, a custom-built application, etc. You can request the upgrade through the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated account, and you can choose two different things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things define how many sites will use Memcached and the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use to store your info. The two things are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any kind of site and both you and the visitors will swiftly notice the difference in the overall performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is available by default with all VPS servers ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. The extension it needs in order to function correctly is compiled when the Virtual Private Server is configured, so you can begin using the distributed memory object caching platform as soon as your brand new server is fully functional. The system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the less powerful ones, you’ll get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will allow you to boost the performance of numerous sites hosted on the server simultaneously and to lower the load even if you run resource-demanding script-based web pages with numerous visitors. Memcached can be used with any script – Joomla, Drupal or Mambo, or a custom-developed script, and you’ll see the better performance shortly after you begin using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached comes free of charge with all dedicated servers that we offer and the only requirement is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-driven Internet site, including those that are based on widely used Internet applications – for instance, a WordPress personal journal or a Joomla-powered community web portal. Each server comes with a specific amount of memory that Memcached can use, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to boost the loading speed of very heavy websites noticeably, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached content. The Memcached system will begin caching info as soon as it’s activated, so shortly thereafter, you will note the optimized performance of your websites and the decreased load on your server. Plenty of Internet sites use the Memcached system to enhance their efficacy, including famous ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
