Memcached is a distributed memory caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can boost the overall performance of your website and decrease the produced server load drastically. Every time a page on an app-driven site is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a particular webpage. In case any data is changed, the Memcached content is updated too, so the visitors will never see old data. Memcached is an excellent option for every website that has plenty of visitors, since it will make it blazing-fast and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Hosting

Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each and every hosting plan offered by our company and in case you wish to use it for any script-based site that you host on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to activate it in a few easy steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be given the option to upgrade two different things – the instances and the system memory. The first one is related to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache information, so for numerous websites (or for one large-sized site), you should order more memory for better performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any point. With Memcached, every script-driven site hosted on our servers will load unbelievably fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get Memcached as an upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-powered software app, you can use it for every website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, irrespective of what application you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-developed one, etc. You can order the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two different features – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use. Basically, these things determine the number of the websites that will use the Memcached system and how much system memory the system will be able to use in order to cache your content. The two things are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any kind of website and both you and your visitors will quickly note the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached comes by default with each VPS server that we’re offering on the condition that you select Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you will not need to pay anything extra to be able to use the maximum potential of this distributed memory object caching system. The more powerful VPS plan you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for information storage purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting package. This will permit you to use Memcached for many Internet sites, no matter how busy they are, which in turn means that you can use a low-end package for them without overloading your VPS server. The Memcached caching system is suitable for script-powered apps like WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-made app. Soon after you enable the Memcached caching system, it will begin storing information and you will see the enhanced overall performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using the caching system once the server is assembled, without needing to upgrade or activate anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the server that you’ve chosen, but as our servers are incredibly powerful and due to the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-hungry websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be 3 GB. This will permit you to accelerate the overall performance of extremely large sites without effort and you’ll observe the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system begins caching database calls. You can use the caching system with any database-powered web page, including those based on popular Content Management Systems like WordPress and Joomla™.
