Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining popularity in recent years because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can enhance the overall performance of your site and reduce the generated load greatly. Anytime a webpage on an app-powered site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a specific webpage. In case any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The platform is an excellent option for every website that has plenty of visitors, since it will make it faster than the speed of light and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Website Hosting

Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each website hosting plan that we are offering and if you want to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be given the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached data 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 information, so for multiple sites (or for one single large-sized site), you should order more memory for improved performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any time. With Memcached, any script-powered Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will load much faster.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can add the Memcached data caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we are offering and use its full capacity for any script-driven Internet site hosted by us. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two things – the instances and the amount of memory. These things define how many websites can use the Memcached platform and how much memory it will use to store your info. You can choose them separately, since one instance is not linked to a particular amount of memory, so you can use a lot of memory for a single popular Internet site, for instance. This feature comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you need. The platform can be used with any script-powered website regardless of its nature, including those based on widely used web-based applications like Joomla™, Drupal™ or WordPress, and a lot of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to accelerate the performance of their websites.

Memcached in VPS

You will get Memcached with any of the virtual private server packages that we are offering in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the caching platform via the Control Panel section with the exact same name. The setup takes a few clicks and you’ll detect the difference in the performance of your Internet sites almost momentarily. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ to store data depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting package that you have picked, but at any rate it will be at least several hundred MB, which is more than enough even for multiple large-sized Internet sites. You can use Memcached with websites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other web-based app and decrease the load on your VPS server, which will allow you to continue using the current VPS hosting plan rather than upgrading to a more powerful one, as you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites like Wikipedia, Reddit and Zynga, which verifies its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Each dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can start using this data caching system as soon as your dedicated server is configured, without the need to install or upgrade anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can employ depends on the very server that you have selected, but since our servers are very powerful and considering the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-consuming Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be 3 gigabytes. This will allow you to enhance the overall performance of very popular sites without effort and you’ll notice the difference soon after the Memcached caching system starts caching database calls. You can take full advantage of the system with any database-driven site, including those that are based on widely used CMSs like Joomla™ and WordPress.
