Memcached is a widely used distributed memory object caching platform, which can boost the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites considerably in case 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 when a client conducts a search for some product on your site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the whole procedure will be executed much faster. This goes for all kinds of database-powered apps and not only for e-shops, since every time a specific page is visited, the application connects to its database to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load considerably faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be updated, so the users won’t see any out-of-date info.
Memcached in Shared Hosting
Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each and every shared hosting package that we offer and if you want to use it for any script-based site that you host on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you will be given the option to upgrade two different features – the number of instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached data caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be permitted to use to cache information, so for lots of websites (or for one frequently visited site), you should get more memory for better performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be added at any time. With Memcached, every script-driven website hosted on our cloud servers will load extremely fast.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans offered by our company and use its full potential for any script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two things – the number of instances and the memory. These things define the number of the sites that can use Memcached and the amount of system memory that it will use to store your data. You can choose them separately, since one instance is not linked to a particular amount of system memory, so you can use lots of memory for one busy site, for instance. This upgrade is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you want. The platform can be used with any script-powered website irrespective of its type, including those based on widespread web-based applications like WordPress, Joomla™ or Drupal™, and lots of companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to accelerate the speed of their websites.
Memcached in VPS Servers
Memcached comes by default with all Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it requires in order to perform correctly is compiled when the virtual server is set up, so you can begin using the distributed memory object caching platform as soon as your new Virtual Private Server is ready. The system memory that the Memcached platform can employ depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the lower-end plans, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will allow you to accelerate the overall performance of numerous sites hosted on the VPS simultaneously and to decrease the load on the virtual machine even if you manage resource-hungry script-driven portals with a lot of visitors. The caching platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Joomla™ or Drupal™, or a custom-built one, and you will see the faster performance soon after you start using it.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server offered by our company in case you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the object caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with just several clicks. You can boost the performance of any site, no matter what script-powered app you’re using or how popular the site is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount grows enormously with the higher-end servers. Soon after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching data each time somebody visits your site, so, once sufficient data has been stored, you will notice the decreased load on the dedicated machine and the enhanced overall performance of the site. The Memcached caching system is used by lots of sites, including famous portals like Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which confirms the effectiveness of the Memcached system.
