Memcached is a famous distributed memory object caching system, which can accelerate the speed and the performance of your Internet sites tremendously if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so if a customer searches for a specific product on your site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the whole operation will be completed notably quicker. This goes for all sorts of database-driven applications and not only for online shops, since every time a specific page is accessed, the app connects to its database to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load significantly faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors will not see any old info.
Memcached in Website Hosting
Memcached is available as an upgrade with each website hosting plan that we are offering and if you want to use it for any script-based website that you host on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to enable it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two different things – the number of instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the sites that can use the Memcached data caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a number of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that the system will be allowed to use to cache content, so for plenty of websites (or for one resource-absorbing site), you’d better order more memory for improved performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any moment. With the Memcached caching system, each script-driven site hosted on our cloud servers will open lightning-fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get the Memcached object caching system as an optional upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated service and since it works with any script-driven software app, you can use it for every site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, regardless of what app you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom-created app, etc. You can add the upgrade through the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two different things – the instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things indicate how many websites will use Memcached and how much system memory the system will be able to use in order to store your data. The two things are ordered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come with a particular amount of system memory. You can make full use of the Memcached system with any type of site and both you and the visitors will swiftly distinguish the difference in the overall performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
When you buy a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra charge, as the memory caching platform comes with all Virtual Private Servers ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you manage resource-demanding sites, you can accelerate their performance without any effort and the decreased load on the VPS will permit you to continue using your current plan instead of upgrading to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to store data depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a less powerful one, you will have at least several hundred MB, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared plan, so the website performance boost will be significant. You can use Memcached with any database-powered application, regardless of whether you have written it yourself or you’re using a ready-for-use one like Joomla™, WordPress or OpenCart.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached is available for free with all Linux dedicated service that we’re offering and the one and only condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-driven site, including those based on popular apps – for instance, a WordPress personal blog or a Joomla™-powered social network. Each dedicated server comes with a specific amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum amount you’ll get is 3 GB, which is sufficient enough to boost the load speed of very large sites enormously, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The Memcached system will begin storing data the moment it’s activated, so soon after that, you’ll distinguish the enhanced overall performance of your Internet sites and the lowered server load. Lots of sites use the Memcached system to boost their efficiency, including popular ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
