Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years thanks to its efficiency. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that is using it, which can increase the overall performance of your website and reduce the created server load immensely. Anytime a web page on an application-powered site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a particular webpage. When any content is edited, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. Memcached is an excellent solution for every Internet site that has lots of visitors, as it will accelerate it and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each shared hosting package offered by our company and if you wish to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our avant-garde cloud platform, you will be able to order it in a couple of easy steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you will be offered the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use to cache data, so for many sites (or for one resource-absorbing site), you’d better get more memory for improved performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be added at any moment. With Memcached, every script-based site hosted on our cloud servers will load much faster.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the caching platform’s setup requires a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The required extension is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can begin using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your account. You will be able to select how many websites can use it and how much info it will cache, in other words – there’re two separate features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your websites becomes extremely busy, for instance, you can always get more memory. Our system is extremely flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a given number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to increase the loading speed of any script-powered website, including those based on widely used applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached comes by default with every virtual private server that we are offering on the condition that you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra cash to be able to make the most of the maximum potential of this distributed memory object caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server package you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for content storage purposes, but you will have at least several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you would get with a shared plan. This will enable you to use Memcached for a lot of websites, irrespective of how popular they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading the Virtual Private Server. The Memcached caching system is ideal for script-driven apps such as Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-created app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached system, it will begin storing data and you will note the optimized performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you acquire one of our dedicated servers hosting packages and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you will get the Memcached memory caching platform by default and you can enable it for any website that you host on the dedicated machine without upgrading or installing anything. It will start storing info as people visit your Internet site, so you will detect the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the caching platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicated package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the caching platform for multiple Internet sites or for a very large site without compromising its efficacy. The Memcached platform will enable you to increase the load speed of any database-driven Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress weblog, an OpenCart e-store, etc., and to optimize the performance of your dedicated server.
