Memcached is a widely used memory caching system, which can enhance the loading speed and the overall performance of your sites tremendously in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so if a customer searches for some product on your site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the whole operation will be performed much quicker. This goes for all sorts of database-powered apps and not only for online shopping portals, as anytime a web page is visited, the application sends a database query to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load considerably faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the users will not see any old information.
Memcached in Cloud Hosting
You can take advantage of the Memcached caching system with all Linux cloud packages offered by us. It is offered as an upgrade, which you can add with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using Memcached once you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the websites that you’d like to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the system memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have added, the more content will be cached, which may be an exceptionally good idea for traffic-intensive websites with large-sized databases and plenty of concurrent visitors. Thus, you can supercharge the performance of any script-based site hosted on our cloud servers with no effort.
Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the memory caching platform’s setup takes a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The PHP extension that it requires is already installed on our servers, so you can begin using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to choose how many Internet sites can use it and how much information can be cached, i.e. there’re two different features that can be upgraded – the instances and the system memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely popular, for instance, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is exceptionally flexible in this regard and we do not bind a given number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to boost the loading speed of any script-powered site, including those that are based on famous Internet applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.
Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting
Any dedicated server that is ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using the object caching system the moment the server is fully ready, without the need to install or upgrade anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the very server that you have selected, but since our servers are quite powerful and given the fact that it’s likely that you’ll host resource-hungry websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be 3 GB. This will permit you to enhance the overall performance of very large websites without effort and you’ll observe the difference soon after the Memcached caching system starts caching database queries. You can use the Memcached system with any database-driven web page, including those that are based on widely used Content Management Systems like WordPress and Joomla™.
