Memcached is a famous object caching platform, which can increase the speed and the performance of your Internet sites greatly in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so when a visitor conducts a search for a certain product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the entire operation will be performed notably faster. That goes for all sorts of database-driven apps and not only for online stores, since every time a page is opened, the app connects to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load much faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the users will not see any old information.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host script-based sites in a cloud web hosting account with us, you’ll be able to add the Memcached content caching system to your shared hosting plan with only a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the needed extension is already installed on our avant-garde cloud web 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 (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of system memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 MB and you can add as much memory as you need. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you own a large-scale website with a lot of data, you may need more memory in order to be able to take advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached with ease, since the memory caching platform’s setup takes a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required PHP extension is pre-installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using the Memcached platform as soon as you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to select how many Internet sites can use it and how much content can be cached, in other words – there are two different upgradable features – the instances and the amount of system memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your websites becomes extremely popular, for example, you can always order more memory. Our system is exceptionally 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 speed of any script-powered Internet site, including those based on widely used web applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached comes by default with each VPS server offered by our company if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay any extra money to be able to use the maximum potential of this caching system. The more powerful VPS package 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 what you would get with a shared web hosting plan. This will enable you to use Memcached for numerous sites, regardless of how large they are, which in turn means that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading your VPS. The caching system is suitable for script-based applications such as Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-developed app. Soon after you activate Memcached, it will start caching information and you will notice the enhanced overall performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can make use of the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server offered by us if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the distributed memory object caching system and you can start using Memcached for any website hosted on the server with only a couple of clicks. You can increase the overall performance of any site, regardless of what script-powered web application you rely on or how popular the Internet site is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 gigabytes and this amount increases seriously with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching content anytime somebody browses your site, so, once sufficient info has been stored, you’ll notice the reduced load and the optimized performance of your Internet site. Memcached is used by lots of websites, including famous portals such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which shows the efficiency of the caching system.
