Memcached is a widely used caching platform, which can boost the loading speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites tremendously if they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the replies that are returned, so if a visitor conducts a search for a given product on your Internet site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire operation will be performed much quicker. This goes for all types of database-powered apps and not only for e-commerce portals, as every time a web page is opened, the application sends a query to its database to fetch the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the users won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Website Hosting

When you host script-driven websites in a website hosting account with us, you will be able to add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your shared hosting plan with just a few mouse clicks through your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the needed PHP extension is already installed on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can add memory as many times as you like. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so if you manage a large-sized website with a lot of data, you may need more memory in order to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated services and since it works with any script-based application, you can use it for every Internet site that you host on our platform, regardless of what application you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-created application, etc. You can order the upgrade from the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate features – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. Basically, these things determine how many Internet sites will use the Memcached caching system and the total amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to store your content. The two features are offered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any kind of website and both you and your visitors will swiftly detect the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached comes by default with all Linux VPS web hosting services ordered with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it needs in order to perform correctly is compiled when the server is configured, so you can begin using the data caching platform as soon as your brand-new VPS server is up and running. The system memory that the Memcached caching platform can use depends on the given VPS plan, but even with the less powerful plans, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to boost the performance of multiple websites hosted on the VPS at the same time and to lower the load on the machine even if you’ve got resource-heavy script-driven websites with numerous viewers. The Memcached caching platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Joomla™ or Drupal™, or a custom-developed one, and you will detect the faster overall performance shortly after you begin using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated servers hosting and if you select Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel on the order form, you will get the Memcached caching platform by default and you can use it with any site that you host on your dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin storing content as users access your site, so you’ll notice the results of using it soon after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the dedicate server plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the platform for multiple Internet sites or for a very heavy site without weakening its efficacy. The Memcached platform will allow you to accelerate any database-driven website very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal diary, an OpenCart web store, etcetera, and to improve the performance of your dedicated machine.
