Memcached is a memory caching system, which has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can improve the performance of your site and reduce the produced server load drastically. Every time a page on an app-driven site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a given webpage. In case any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never see outdated data. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for every Internet site that attracts plenty of viewers, since it will make it load faster and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Hosting

If you host script-powered websites in a hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached caching system to your hosting package with just a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the PHP extension needed for it is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the memory that Memcached will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can add memory as many times as you need. Logically, the more memory Memcached is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so if you have a resource-requiring website with lots of content, you may require more memory so as to be able to take advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you would like to use it for any of the websites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can add it with only a few clicks. The distributed memory object caching platform is ideal for any script-driven software application such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom-built app, and based on your necessities, you will be able to select two separate features – how many Internet sites will use the Memcached platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much info will be stored, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you have a traffic-intensive website with lots of data, you can order one instance and a large amount of system memory. The Memcached platform will enhance the overall performance of your sites soon after you enable it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy much faster loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS

Memcached comes by default with all VPS packages that are ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it requires in order to work correctly is compiled when the VPS is set up, so you can begin using the object caching platform once your brand new VPS server is fully functional. The system memory that the Memcached platform can employ depends on the given plan, but even with the lower-end plans, you’ll get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will permit you to accelerate the performance of numerous websites hosted on the VPS simultaneously and to lower the load even if you manage resource-hungry script-based web portals with plenty of visitors. The platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Joomla™ or Drupal™, or a custom script, and you’ll detect the better overall performance shortly after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can use the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we are offering if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated machine with just several clicks of the mouse. You can boost the performance of any site, irrespective of what script-based app you’re using or how popular the site is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is three gigabytes and this amount increases seriously with the more powerful dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will begin caching information anytime someone opens your site, so, once sufficient info has been stored, you will perceive the decreased load on the server and the improved overall performance of the Internet site. The Memcached caching system is used by plenty of websites, among them popular portals such as Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which shows the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
