Memcached is a content caching system, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can enhance the performance of your website and reduce the produced load drastically. Anytime a page on an application-powered site is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a particular webpage. When any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the users will never end up seeing outdated data. Memcached is an ideal option for any website that has plenty of visitors, since it will make it load much faster and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Hosting

Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each hosting plan that we’re offering and in case you want to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our advanced cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to activate it in a couple of simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two different things – the instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache info, so for lots of sites (or for one resource-demanding site), you’d better order more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, any script-based site hosted on our cloud servers will open amazingly fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can add the Memcached distributed memory caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated packages offered by us and make use of its full potential for any script-powered website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can choose two things – the number of instances and the memory. These things indicate how many websites can use the Memcached caching platform and the amount of memory that it will use to store your information. You can select them independently, since a given instance is not tied to a specific amount of system memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single large-sized Internet site, for example. This upgrade comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you like. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-powered website regardless of its nature, including those based on widespread apps like WordPress, Drupal™ or Joomla™, and lots of companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to improve the overall performance of their sites.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

Memcached is offered by default with every virtual private server that we offer as long as you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay anything extra to be able to use the power of this distributed memory object caching system. The more powerful plan you choose, the more memory Memcached will have for information storage purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than what you would get with a shared web hosting plan. This will enable you to use Memcached for lots of Internet sites, no matter how busy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading the server. The Memcached caching system is suitable for script-based software applications such as Joomla™, OpenCart, WordPress or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-developed app. Soon after you activate the Memcached system, it will start storing data and you will spot the improved performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached is available for free with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that we offer and the one and only requirement is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-driven website, including those that are based on widely used web-based applications – for instance, a WordPress online journal or a Joomla™-driven social network. Each dedicated machine comes with a particular amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to optimize the load speed of extremely busy sites noticeably, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The system will start storing content the moment it’s enabled, so soon thereafter, you’ll detect the improved performance of your websites and the lowered load on your dedicated server. Plenty of sites use Memcached to increase their efficiency, among them popular ones such as Wikipedia and Reddit.
