Memcached is a distributed memory object caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can improve the overall performance of your website and decrease the created load greatly. Every time a page on an app-driven website is opened, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should be shown on a given web page. If any data is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users will never see old data. The Memcached platform is a perfect solution for every website that entices a lot of visitors, since it will make it faster than light and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system with all Linux cloud packages offered by us. It is available as an upgrade, which you can activate with only a few clicks via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is already installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached once you order it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the sites that you would like to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can add more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve ordered, the more data will be cached, which may be a quite good idea for popular sites with large-size databases and a lot of simultaneous visitors. In this way, you can enhance the overall performance of any script-based site hosted on our cloud servers with no effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached distributed memory caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated packages and since it works with any script-based software app, you can use it for each site that you host on our platform, irrespective of what app you have used – WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, a custom-developed app, etc. You can add the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two different features – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things specify how many Internet sites will use the Memcached system and how much memory the system will be able to use to cache your data. The two features are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a particular amount of system memory. You can take advantage of the Memcached system with any sort of website and both you and the visitors will quickly see the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

You’ll get Memcached with each of the virtual private server packages that we are offering if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you will be able to activate the content caching platform through the Control Panel section with the very same name. The activation requires several mouse clicks and you will distinguish the difference in the overall performance of your websites almost instantaneously. The amount of memory that Memcached can employ to store information depends on the given Virtual Private Server package that you have selected, but in any case it will be at least several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for multiple resource-demanding Internet sites. You can use the Memcached platform with websites driven by Joomla™, WordPress or any other Internet app and decrease the load on your Virtual Private Server, which will permit you to continue using the current Virtual Private Server package instead of migrating to a more powerful one, since you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which is a confirmation of its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached is available for free with all dedicated servers hosting packages that we offer and the one and only condition is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-powered site, including those based on widely used web-based apps – for instance, a WordPress weblog or a Joomla™-powered social networking website. Each dedicated server comes with a certain amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum amount you’ll get is 3 GB, which is quite enough to enhance the speed of extremely heavy sites considerably, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached content. The system will begin storing info the moment it’s activated, so shortly thereafter, you’ll detect the optimized performance of your Internet sites and the lowered load on the server. Numerous sites use Memcached to improve their effectiveness, including popular ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
