Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the application that uses it, which can accelerate the performance of your website and reduce the created load substantially. Anytime a web page on an app-powered Internet site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a certain page. If any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never see out-of-date content. The Memcached platform is an ideal option for any Internet site that attracts lots of viewers, as it will make it faster than the speed of sound and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux shared website hosting offered by us. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can order with just a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is already installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system as soon as you add it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will offer you more versatility depending on the sites that you’d like to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have, the more data will be cached, which may be a good idea for popular websites with large-sized databases and numerous concurrent visitors. In this way, you can optimize the performance of any script-powered site hosted on our cloud servers without efforts.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the websites hosted in the account, you can enable it with only a few clicks of the mouse. The platform is suitable for any script-based app like WordPress, Joomla™, or even a tailor-made one, and depending on your demands, you will be able to select two separate things – how many Internet sites will use Memcached, i.e. the number of instances; and how much info will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you run a traffic-consuming site with a lot of data, you can get one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached caching platform will accelerate the overall performance of your sites shortly after you activate it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy much faster load speeds.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

You’ll get Memcached with each of the virtual private server plans offered by us in case you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the distributed memory object caching platform through the section with the exact same name. The configuration requires several clicks of the mouse and you’ll see the difference in the overall performance of your Internet sites almost momentarily. The amount of memory that Memcached can take advantage of to cache information depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting plan that you have selected, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is more than enough even for multiple resource-consuming Internet sites. You can use Memcached with Internet sites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other application and lower the load on your virtual server, which will enable you to continue using the current Virtual Private Server hosting plan rather than switching to a more powerful one, as you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which is an evidence of its efficiency.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can start using this distributed memory object caching system as soon as the server is completely operational, without the need to install or upgrade anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the dedicated server that you’ve picked, but since our servers are very powerful and considering the fact that it’s likely that you’ll host resource-demanding sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be 3 GB. This will enable you to increase the overall performance of extremely large sites effortlessly and you’ll notice the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system begins caching database queries. You can make use of the caching system with any database-powered online portal, including those that are based on famous Content Management Systems such as WordPress and Joomla™.
