Memcached is a commonly used content caching system, which can accelerate the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites considerably in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so if a client searches for some product on your website, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the entire operation will be carried out noticeably faster. This goes for all types of database-driven apps and not only for web stores, as anytime a particular page is visited, the application sends a query to its database to fetch the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load significantly faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any data in the database is edited, the cached responses will also be updated, so the visitors will not see any outdated information.

Memcached in Website Hosting

Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each website hosting plan offered by our company and if you want to use it for any script-based Internet site that you host on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to activate it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll be given the option to upgrade two separate things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be permitted to use in order to cache content, so for lots of websites (or for one single popular site), you may want to get more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added every time you need it. With the Memcached caching system, every script-powered site hosted on our cloud servers will open extremely fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the account, you can add it with just a few clicks. The content caching platform is suitable for any script-driven software app like Joomla™, WordPress, or even an in-house built app, and based on your requirements, you will be able to choose two different features – how many Internet sites will use the Memcached platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much info will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will use. The two things are not tied to each other, so if you’ve got a traffic-heavy site with lots of data, you can get one instance and a larger amount of memory. The Memcached caching platform will increase the performance of your Internet sites soon after you activate it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy faster loading times.

Memcached in VPS

When you get a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra fee, as the caching platform is available with all VPS servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you’ve got resource-intensive Internet sites, you’ll be able to enhance their performance effortlessly and the reduced load on your VPS will enable you to keep your current VPS hosting plan rather than switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to store info depends on the plan that you are using, but even with a low-end one, you’ll have no less than several hundred MB, which is considerably more than what you’d get with a shared plan, so the website performance boost will be immense. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-driven application, irrespective of whether you have created it on your own or you’re using a ready-made one like Joomla™, OpenCart or WordPress.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Any dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can start using this data caching system once your dedicated server is configured, without the need to upgrade or activate anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can employ depends on the dedicated server that you have selected, but since our servers are exceptionally powerful and due to the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-consuming sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use is three gigabytes. This will allow you to accelerate the overall performance of very heavy Internet sites with no effort and you’ll detect the difference shortly after Memcached starts caching database calls. You can take full advantage of the Memcached system with any database-powered web page, including those based on famous Content Management Systems such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
