Memcached is a widely used distributed memory object caching system, which can increase the loading speed and the performance of your Internet sites tremendously if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so if somebody conducts a search for a particular product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the entire task will be performed considerably faster. This goes for all sorts of database-powered apps and not only for Internet shops, since anytime a particular web page is accessed, the app connects to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open much faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the website visitors won’t see any old information.
Memcached in Shared Website Hosting
You can make use of the Memcached distributed memory caching system with all shared website hosting services that we offer. It is offered as an upgrade, which you can add with only a couple of clicks from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system as soon as you order it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will offer you more flexibility depending on the websites that you wish to use it for. The first part specifies the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have added, the more data will be cached, which may be an exceptionally good idea for heavy-traffic websites with very large databases and numerous visitors. In this way, you can increase the speed of any script-driven website hosted on our cloud servers without effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the object caching platform’s activation takes several clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that it requires is already installed on our servers, so you can start using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to select how many websites can use it and how much info can be cached, in other words – there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes very busy, for example, you can always get more memory. Our system is stunningly flexible in this regard and we do not tie a particular number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can employ Memcached to speed up any script-powered Internet site, including those that are based on widely used apps, such as WordPress or Joomla™.
Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
Each dedicated server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can start using this caching system once your dedicated server is ready, without needing to upgrade or install anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can use depends on the server that you have picked, but since our servers are really powerful and considering the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-requiring sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be 3 gigabytes. This will allow you to increase the overall performance of very large Internet sites with no effort and you’ll detect the difference soon after Memcached begins caching database queries. You can take advantage of the Memcached system with any database-powered web page, including those that are based on widely used CMSs like WordPress and Joomla™.
