What is the difference between memcached and xcache and I can install both caching solutions on a same VPS?

Please share your advice?

You can.... IF you have enough RAM to make it useful.

Caching systems store your content in RAM. It's not a magical system that makes servers faster without resources.

@coredump As RDO mentioned as long as you have enough RAM that is very possible.
Note:
never use max of your RAM as it could cause issues, so if you currently just have about enough RAM for it, make sure you upgrade before hand.

Kind regards

How much RAM do I need for these cache solutions?

I heard that when data stores in RAM, it can boost the loading faster without requiring the process of CPUs.

I havnt personally used memcached more than 2 times however heard great things from employees and friends so i do recommend giving it a try as you are doing.

I went through a few articles and found the one below to be the most clear with the most proper configuration. of course i do not recommend just following the tutorial, also try to learn what everything does as it will help you a great deal later on.

Also have you considered all of your options? As memcached is very popular due to good db capabilities and is heavily used for db. if you do not use a lot of DB then you may want to go back to the drawing board.

In my personal opionion, they are two different caching solutiosn and having different types .

xcache is opcode cache and used by php engine while Memcache is a data cache. It will store data as a key value pair into RAM so you can use both on a server

If your sites are having this code on your site

Code:

$config['Datastore']['prefix'] = '';

to use memcached on separated sites then adding a custom prefix to it like this

Code:

$config['Datastore']['prefix'] = 'site1';

Hope it helps!
