Memcached is a caching system, which has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its efficiency. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your Internet site and lessen the generated load significantly. Anytime a webpage on an application-driven site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a given page. If any data is updated, the Memcached content is updated too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The platform is an excellent option for every Internet site that has a lot of viewers, since it will make it astonishingly fast and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each cloud hosting account that we are offering and in case you want to use it for any script-based Internet site that you host on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in several easy steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two different things – the number of instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a number of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that the system will be allowed to use in order to cache information, so for plenty of websites (or for one single resource-absorbing site), you’d better order more memory for better results. The memory comes in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any point. With Memcached, every script-driven Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will load much faster.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you decide to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, since the distributed memory object caching platform’s setup takes a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that it requires is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can begin using the Memcached platform as soon as you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to select how many websites can use it and how much data can be cached, i.e. there’re two different features that can be upgraded – the instances and the amount of system memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely busy, for instance, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is pretty flexible in this regard and we do not tie a particular number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to boost the speed of any script-driven website, including those based on famous Internet applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Servers

When you order a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra price, as the memory caching platform comes with all servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you run large-size Internet sites, you will be able to accelerate their performance without any effort and the lowered load on your Virtual Private Server will allow you to keep using your current VPS package rather than moving to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to cache data depends on the package that you are using, but even with a lower-end one, you will get at least 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 serious. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-powered application, irrespective of whether you have developed it yourself or you are using a ready-for-use one such as OpenCart, Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you obtain any of our Linux dedicated servers and if you select Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you will get the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform as standard and you can set it up for any website that you host on your server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin storing content as people open your site, so you’ll notice the results of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the caching platform for a large number of Internet sites or for a very busy Internet site without weakening its effectiveness. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to increase the load speed of any database-driven site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal journal, an OpenCart e-store, etcetera, and to enhance the overall performance of your dedicated server.
