Memcached is a commonly used distributed memory object caching platform, which can boost the loading speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites significantly if they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so if somebody searches for some product on your Internet site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the entire operation will be executed noticeably quicker. This goes for all sorts of database-powered apps and not only for online stores, as every time a specific page is visited, the app sends a query to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load considerably faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be updated, so the users will not see any outdated information.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each and every cloud hosting plan that we’re offering and in case you’d like to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to add it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you will get the option to upgrade two separate things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache data, so for plenty of sites (or for one busy site), you’d better get more memory for better performance. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any point. With the Memcached caching system, any script-based site hosted on our servers will open extra-fast.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is offered by default with each and every VPS server that we offer if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay anything extra to be able to use the power of this memory caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server package you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for data storage purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred MB all the time, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared plan. This will permit you to use the Memcached system for numerous Internet sites, irrespective of how heavy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a lower-end plan for them without overloading your virtual machine. The caching system is suitable for script-driven web apps such as WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-made app. Shortly after you activate Memcached, it will begin caching info and you’ll spot the optimized overall performance of your sites.
