Memcached is a popular object caching platform, which can accelerate the loading speed and the performance of your sites immensely in case they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so if a customer searches for a particular product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the entire operation will be executed much faster. This goes for all kinds of database-powered applications and not only for online shops, as anytime a web page is opened, the application sends a query to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open much faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors won’t see any out-of-date info.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

If you host script-driven websites in a shared web hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your shared web hosting plan with only a few clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the extension needed for it is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory whenever you need. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so if you manage a traffic-consuming website with a lot of content, you may need more memory so as to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you choose to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached easily, as the platform’s setup takes a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that is required is pre-installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you add it to your account. You will be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much content can be cached, i.e. there are two different features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely popular, for instance, you can always get more memory. Our system is really flexible in this regard and we do not bind a particular number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can employ the Memcached platform to speed up any script-driven Internet site, including those that are based on famous web apps, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is included by default with every VPS server offered by our company as long as you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not have to pay anything extra to be able to use the potential of this content caching system. The more powerful VPS plan you select, the more memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting plan. This will allow you to use Memcached for multiple websites, regardless of how busy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading the VPS. The Memcached caching system is suitable for script-based web applications like WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-created app. Shortly after you enable the Memcached caching system, it will begin caching data and you will distinguish the optimized overall performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server offered by us in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated machine with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can enhance the performance of any website, irrespective of what script-based web app you rely on or how large the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is three gigabytes and this amount increases tremendously with the higher-end servers. Shortly after the caching system is enabled, it will begin caching information anytime somebody visits your website, so, once enough content has been cached, you’ll notice the decreased load on your dedicated server and the enhanced overall performance of your website. The Memcached caching system is being used by many sites, including popular portals like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which demonstrates the efficiency of the Memcached system.
