Memcached is a popular caching platform, which can enhance the loading speed and the performance of your sites significantly in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are returned, so if a client searches 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 carried out considerably quicker. This goes for all types of database-driven apps and not only for online stores, as every time a particular page is accessed, the app sends a request to its database to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load noticeably faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors will not see any out-of-date info.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
You can make use of the Memcached distributed memory caching system with all shared hosting service offered by us. It’s offered as an optional upgrade, which you can activate with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system once you add it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the websites that you would like to use it for. The first part defines the number of the sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be an exceptionally good idea for frequently visited websites with large-size databases and many users. In this way, you can enhance the loading speed of every script-driven Internet site hosted on our servers with no effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached caching system as an upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated hosting service and since it works with any script-based software app, you can use it for every website that you host on our platform, irrespective of what app you have used – WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, a custom-built app, etc. You can request the upgrade from the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate features – the instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things specify the number of the websites that will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your information. The two things are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a particular amount of system memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any type of site and both you and the site visitors will quickly detect the difference in the performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is available by default with all Linux VPS servers ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. The extension it needs in order to perform properly is compiled when the VPS server is configured, so you can begin using the distributed memory object caching platform as soon as your new server is fully functional. The system memory that the Memcached caching platform can employ depends on the particular plan, but even with the low-end plans, several hundred megabytes will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to enhance the overall performance of numerous websites hosted on the virtual server simultaneously and to decrease the load on the virtual machine even if you own data-heavy script-driven websites with lots of visitors. The Memcached platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Drupal™ or Joomla™, or a custom-made script, and you will observe the faster overall performance soon after you begin using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain any of our Linux dedicated service and if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel at signup, you will get the Memcached distributed memory caching platform as standard and you can set it up for any site that you host on the dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching info as people visit your site, so you’ll notice the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicate server package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to use the caching platform for plenty of Internet sites or for a very heavy website without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached platform will allow you to optimize the speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online journal, an OpenCart web store, etc., and to boost the overall performance of your server.
