Memcached is a memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the application that’s using it, which can accelerate the performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced server load substantially. Anytime a web page on an application-powered site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should show up on a given webpage. If any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the site visitors will never see out-of-date content. Memcached is an ideal choice for any site that draws a lot of viewers, since it will increase its loading speed and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Hosting

When you host script-powered websites in a hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached object caching system to your web hosting package with only a few clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the needed extension is already installed on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many websites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory as many times as you like. Logically, the more memory Memcached is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you have a resource-absorbing site with lots of data, you may need more memory in order to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get the Memcached memory caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-powered software app, you can use it for every Internet site that you host on our platform, no matter what app you have used – Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress, a custom application, etc. You can add the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two different things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things determine the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system and how much memory the system will be able to use in order to store your data. The two things are offered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can take advantage of Memcached with any sort of site and both you and your website visitors will quickly spot the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra cost, as the data caching platform comes with all virtual machines that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you own resource-intensive sites, you can optimize their performance without efforts and the reduced load on the Virtual Private Server will enable you to keep your current VPS hosting plan rather than switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached platform can use to store info depends on the plan that you are using, but even with a lower-end one, you will have no less than several hundred MB, which is considerably more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting package, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-driven web application, no matter if you’ve built it on your own or you’re using a ready-to-use one such as OpenCart, WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated service that we are offering and the one and only requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory object caching system for any database-driven website, including those that are based on popular web apps – for example, a WordPress online journal or a Joomla™-driven community portal. Each dedicated server is tied to a different amount of system memory that Memcached can employ, but the minimum amount you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to speed up very large sites immensely, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The Memcached system will start storing info as soon as it is enabled, so soon thereafter, you’ll see the enhanced performance of your Internet sites and the reduced load on the server. Numerous sites use Memcached to increase their efficiency, among them popular ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
