Memcached is a commonly used content caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites immensely in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so when a client conducts a search for a specific product on your Internet site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the entire operation will be completed significantly faster. That goes for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for online shopping portals, as every time a particular page is visited, the app sends a query to its database to fetch the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load significantly faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be updated, so the users will not see any old information.

Memcached in Web Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached distributed memory caching system with all Linux web hosting packages offered by our company. It is available as an upgrade, which you can add with only a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached once you add it. The upgrade is divided 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 the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the system memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have added, the more data will be cached, which may be a very good idea for busy sites with large-sized databases and lots of simultaneous visitors. Thus, you can accelerate the overall performance of any script-based website hosted on our cloud servers without efforts.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you acquire one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and if you pick Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel on the order form, you will get the Memcached content caching platform as standard and you can enable it for any site that you host on the dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching info as users visit your website, so you’ll notice the effect of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached 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 enable you to use the caching platform for many sites or for a very large Internet site without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached platform will enable you to improve the load speed of any database-powered site very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress blog, an OpenCart web store, etcetera, and to enhance the performance of your dedicated server.
