Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately thanks to its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can increase the performance of your site and lessen the generated server load drastically. Anytime a page on an application-driven website is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a certain web page. When any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never see outdated content. Memcached is a perfect choice for every site that attracts plenty of visitors, as it will boost its speed and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host script-powered websites in a cloud web hosting account with us, you can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your shared hosting plan with just a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the necessary PHP extension is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 MB and you can add as much memory as you like. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so if you have a high-traffic site with lots of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the websites hosted in your account, you can add it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. The object caching platform is perfect for any script-based web application like WordPress, Joomla™, or even an in-house made application, and depending on your requirements, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many Internet sites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much data will be stored, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will use. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you manage a traffic-heavy site with lots of content, you can get one instance and a larger amount of system memory. Memcached will improve the overall performance of your Internet sites shortly after you enable it and both you and your visitors will enjoy faster load times.

Memcached in VPS

Memcached comes by default with each and every virtual private server that we offer on the condition that you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay any extra money to be able to take advantage of the potential of this distributed memory object caching system. The more powerful plan you select, the more system memory Memcached will have for content caching purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting package. This will permit you to use the Memcached system for a lot of websites, irrespective of how busy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a lower-end package for them without overloading your virtual machine. The caching system is suitable for script-based web apps such as OpenCart, Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-built app. Soon after you activate Memcached, it will begin storing content and you will observe the improved overall performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we offer in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the content caching system and you can start using Memcached for any website hosted on the server with only several clicks. You can enhance the performance of any website, irrespective of what script-driven software app you rely on or how popular the site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount rises considerably with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching information anytime somebody opens your website, so, once sufficient info has been cached, you’ll see the decreased load on your server and the enhanced performance of your site. The Memcached caching system is used by numerous sites, including famous portals like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which verifies the effectiveness of the Memcached system.
