Memcached is a widespread memory caching system, which can accelerate the speed and the performance of your sites immensely if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so if a visitor conducts a search for a given product on your site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole task will be carried out much faster. That goes for all kinds of database-driven applications and not only for shopping portals, as every time a given web page is opened, the app sends a database request to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load much faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any data in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.
Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
If you host script-powered sites in a cloud website hosting account with us, you’ll be able to add the Memcached caching system to your web hosting package with just a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the extension required for it is already installed on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory as many times as you want. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you manage a high-demand website with a lot of data, you may require more memory to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can get Memcached as an upgrade with all our semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-powered web app, you can use it for each website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, irrespective of what application you have used – WordPress, Mambo or Joomla™, a custom-developed application, etc. You can request the upgrade from the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. Basically, these things indicate the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached and the amount of system memory that the system will be able to use to cache your content. The two things are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any type of site and both you and your site visitors will swiftly notice the difference in the overall performance.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached is included by default with each VPS server offered by our company if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay anything extra to be able to use the maximum potential of this memory caching system. The more powerful package you choose, the more system memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting package. This will enable you to use Memcached for many sites, regardless of how large they are, which in turn means that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading the Virtual Private Server. The caching system is ideal for script-powered apps such as Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached system, it will start caching data and you will see the optimized performance of your sites.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can start using the distributed memory object caching system once the server is fully ready, without having to upgrade or install anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use depends on the very server that you have picked, but as our servers are exceptionally powerful and considering the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-requiring websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use is three gigabytes. This will permit you to improve the performance of extremely popular websites effortlessly and you’ll observe the difference shortly after the Memcached system begins caching database calls. You can make use of the caching system with any database-powered online portal, including those based on popular Content Management Systems such as WordPress and Joomla™.
