Memcached is a famous data caching platform, which can increase the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites significantly if they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so when somebody conducts a search for a particular product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be carried out noticeably quicker. This goes for all types of database-driven applications and not only for shopping portals, since every time a web page is accessed, the application sends a database query to fetch the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load much 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 If any content in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be updated, so the users will not see any outdated info.

Memcached in Website Hosting

The Memcached object caching system is offered as an optional upgrade with every website hosting offered by our company and you’ll be able to begin using it as soon as you activate it, since the PHP extension that it requires so as to run correctly is pre-installed on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform. You can request the upgrade via the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with every plan and a brand new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is separated into two parts – the instances and the amount of memory, so as to give you more flexibility. The first one shows the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second, which comes in increments of 16 MB, determines the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A heavy-traffic Internet site with a large-sized database may need more memory in order to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so in case you would like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any point with several mouse clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the caching platform’s activation takes several mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The required PHP extension is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can begin using the Memcached platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much information it will cache, i.e. there’re two separate upgradable features – the number of instances and the amount of memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very popular, for example, you can always order more memory. Our system is very flexible in this regard and we do not bind a specific number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform to speed up any script-powered website, including those that are based on famous web applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

When you get a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no extra cost, as the object caching platform is offered with all virtual servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you run traffic-intensive sites, you can improve their overall performance with ease and the lowered load on the VPS will permit you to keep your current Virtual Private Server hosting plan instead of upgrading to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to store data depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a lower-end one, you’ll get at least several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared plan, so the website performance boost will be serious. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-powered web app, no matter if you have created it yourself or you’re using a ready-for-use one such as WordPress, Joomla™ or OpenCart.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Any dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using this content caching system as soon as the dedicated server is up and running, without the need to activate or upgrade anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can use depends on the very server that you’ve chosen, but since our servers are really powerful and considering the fact that it’s likely that you’ll host resource-hungry Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be 3 gigabytes. This will enable you to optimize the overall performance of extremely heavy websites without efforts and you will detect the difference soon after the Memcached system begins caching database calls. You can make full use of the Memcached caching system with any database-powered portal, including those based on widely used CMSs such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
