Memcached is a widely used memory caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the overall performance of your sites substantially if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so if a customer conducts a search for some product on your site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to return the results and the entire procedure will be completed noticeably quicker. This goes for all types of database-driven apps and not only for online shops, as every time a specific page is visited, the app sends a request to its database to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open significantly faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached responses will also be updated, so the visitors will not see any outdated information.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

When you host script-driven sites in a shared hosting account with us, you’ll be able to add Memcached to your plan with just a few clicks of the mouse through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the needed PHP extension is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud website 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 (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you wish. Naturally, the more memory Memcached is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so if you manage a resource-intensive site with a lot of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you choose to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, since the data caching platform’s activation requires several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that it requires is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to select how many Internet sites can use it and how much info can be cached, in other words – there’re two separate upgradable features – the number of instances and the system memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes extremely busy, for example, you can always order more memory. Our system is rather flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a given number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can use the Memcached platform to increase the loading speed of any script-driven Internet site, including those based on widely used web-based apps, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Servers

When you acquire a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional cost, as the data caching platform is available with all servers ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you run content-heavy websites, you can improve their overall performance effortlessly and the decreased load on the virtual machine will permit you to keep using your current package instead of moving to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use to cache content depends on the package that you’re using, but even with a less powerful one, you’ll have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is considerably more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting package, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can use Memcached with any database-powered web application, irrespective of whether you’ve developed it on your own or you’re using a ready-for-use one like OpenCart, WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you buy one of our dedicated service and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you will get the Memcached platform by default and you can set it up for any Internet site that you host on the dedicated server without installing or upgrading anything. It will start storing info as users open your Internet site, so you’ll see the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for a large number of websites or for a very popular website without compromising its effectiveness. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to increase the speed of any database-powered website in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal blog, an OpenCart store, etcetera, and to optimize the overall performance of your dedicated machine.
