Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that uses it, which can improve the performance of your website and reduce the created load substantially. Anytime a webpage on an application-driven site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached the content that should show up on a certain webpage. In case any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the site visitors will never see out-of-date content. Memcached is an excellent solution for any Internet site that has numerous visitors, as it will make it faster than the speed of sound and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

You can use the Memcached memory caching system with all shared website hosting services that we’re offering. It is offered as an optional upgrade, which you can enable with just a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you add it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will offer you more versatility depending on the sites that you want to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have, the more content will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for busy sites with large databases and lots of concurrent visitors. Thus, you can increase the loading speed of any script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers without effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached content caching system as an upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated services and since it works with any script-powered web app, you can use it for any website that you host on our platform, no matter what app you have used – WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, a custom-created app, etc. You can request the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated account, and you can choose two separate things – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use. In other words, these things show how many sites will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your data. The two features are offered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can make full use of the Memcached system with any type of website and both you and the website visitors will quickly detect the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached is offered by default with every virtual private server offered by our company if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra cash to be able to take advantage of the maximum capacity of this distributed memory object caching system. The more powerful package you select, the more memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than what you would get with a shared web hosting package. This will permit you to use the Memcached caching system for numerous websites, regardless of how popular they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a lower-end package for them without overloading your Virtual Private Server. The Memcached caching system is excellent for script-powered apps like WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-developed app. Soon after you activate the Memcached system, it will begin storing info and you will see the improved performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached comes free of charge with all Linux dedicated hosting services that we are offering and the only condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the caching system for any database-powered site, including those that are based on popular Internet apps – for example, a WordPress weblog or a Joomla™-powered community web portal. Each dedicated machine is tied to a particular amount of system memory that the Memcached system can use, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to improve the loading speed of extremely large sites significantly, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The Memcached system will begin caching content as soon as it is activated, so soon thereafter, you’ll detect the enhanced performance of your websites and the lowered load. Numerous websites use the Memcached system to increase their efficacy, among them popular ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
