Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your site and lessen the generated server load immensely. Every time a webpage on an app-powered website is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a particular page. In case any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the visitors will never see outdated content. The Memcached platform is an ideal solution for any site that draws numerous viewers, since it will make it truly fast and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

You can use the Memcached object caching system with all Linux shared hosting packages that we are offering. It’s available as an upgrade, which you can activate with just a few clicks of the mouse through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud platform, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the sites that you want to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have added, the more content will be cached, which may be a quite good idea for high-demand websites with large-size databases and numerous users. In this way, you can boost the overall performance of every script-driven site hosted on our cloud servers without efforts.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you decide to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will 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 extension that it requires is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much info it will cache, i.e. there are two different upgradable features – the instances and the amount of memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very popular, for instance, you can always get more memory. Our system is incredibly flexible in this regard and we do not tie a specific number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can employ the Memcached platform to boost the loading speed of any script-powered Internet site, including those that are based on widely used Internet apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached is available for free with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages offered by our company and the only requirement is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the data caching system for any database-driven website, including those based on popular web-based apps – for example, a WordPress personal diary or a Joomla™-driven community web portal. Each dedicated server is tied to a given amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum you will get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to accelerate the loading speed of extremely popular sites greatly, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached content. The Memcached system will begin storing content as soon as it is activated, so shortly thereafter, you will observe the optimized overall performance of your Internet sites and the reduced load on your dedicated machine. Numerous sites use the Memcached system to enhance their efficiency, including famous ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
