Memcached is a commonly used memory caching system, which can increase the speed and the performance of your websites tremendously in case they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so if a user conducts a search for a certain product on your Internet site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole operation will be carried out significantly quicker. This goes for all types of database-powered applications and not only for e-stores, as every time a particular web page is opened, the app sends a request to its database to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load significantly faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors will not see any out-of-date info.
Memcached in Hosting
Memcached comes as an upgrade with each hosting account offered by our company and in case you wish to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to activate it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you will be given the option to upgrade two separate features – the number of instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached data caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use to cache info, so for a lot of websites (or for one resource-absorbing site), you may want to get more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any time. With Memcached, any script-driven website hosted on our servers will load lightning-fast.
Memcached in Dedicated Servers
Memcached comes free of charge with all dedicated web hosting plans offered by our company and the only requirement is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-driven site, including those based on widely used web-based applications – for instance, a WordPress online blog or a Joomla™-powered community portal. Each server comes with a given amount of system memory that Memcached can employ, but the minimum you will get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to optimize the speed of extremely heavy sites tremendously, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached content. The system will begin storing information once it’s enabled, so soon after that, you will distinguish the improved performance of your Internet sites and the lowered load on your server. Many sites use Memcached to improve their effectiveness, including popular ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
