Memcached is a famous memory caching platform, which can increase the loading speed and the performance of your Internet sites tremendously if they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so if someone searches for a given product on your website, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire operation will be carried out much faster. That goes for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for e-shops, since every time a particular page is visited, the app sends a database request to fetch the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open significantly faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any data in the database is edited, the cached responses will also be updated, so the site visitors will not see any outdated info.
Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each cloud website hosting offered by our company and you’ll be able to begin using it the moment you add it, since the extension that it needs so as to run correctly is already present on our avant-garde cloud platform. You can request the upgrade via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with every hosting plan and a brand new Control Panel section where you can manage Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the memory, so as to give you more freedom. The first one shows the number of the sites which can use Memcached, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 16 megabytes, specifies the maximum size of the content that can be cached by the system. A traffic-intensive site with a large database may need more memory so as to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you want to upgrade this service, you’ll be able to do it at any point with several clicks.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can add the Memcached object caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated plans that we offer and use its full potential for any script-driven Internet site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can select two things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory. These things show the number of the websites that can use the Memcached caching platform and the amount of memory that it will use to store your data. You can select them independently, since one instance is not linked to a specific amount of memory, so you can use lots of memory for a single resource-demanding website, for example. This upgrade is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you want. The platform can be used with any script-driven website irrespective of its nature, including those based on popular Internet applications like Drupal™, WordPress or Joomla™, and plenty of companies such as Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to increase the performance of their sites.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes by default with each and every VPS server that we’re offering if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay anything extra to be able to take advantage of the maximum capacity of this caching system. The more powerful VPS plan you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for data caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB all the time, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared plan. This will enable you to use the Memcached caching system for many websites, no matter how popular they are, which in turn means that you can use a less powerful plan for them without overloading your Virtual Private Server. The Memcached caching system is excellent for script-based apps like OpenCart, Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-developed app. Shortly after you activate Memcached, it will start caching information and you will notice the improved performance of your websites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we are offering in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the server with only a couple of clicks. You can improve the performance of any Internet site, no matter what script-powered application you are using or how large the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount increases immensely with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will start caching information anytime someone accesses your website, so, as soon as enough content has been stored, you will detect the decreased load on your dedicated machine and the improved performance of your site. Memcached is used by numerous websites, including famous portals like Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which proves the efficiency of the caching system.
