Memcached is a distributed memory object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache calls and responses between a database and the application that uses it, which can increase the overall performance of your site and lessen the created server load tremendously. Every time a web page on an application-powered website is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a specific webpage. If any content is modified, the Memcached content is updated too, so the users will never see out-of-date content. The Memcached platform is an excellent solution for every website that has a lot of visitors, since it will make it lightning-fast and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached distributed memory object caching system with all cloud website hosting plans that we offer. It is offered as an optional upgrade, which you can get with just a few clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the sites that you wish to use it for. The first one reveals the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you’ve ordered, the more data will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for busy sites with very large databases and lots of simultaneous visitors. Thus, you can accelerate the speed of every script-powered website hosted on our servers without any efforts.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you get one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the account, you can activate it with only a few clicks of the mouse. The content caching platform is perfect for any script-based software application like WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom app, and depending on your needs, you’ll be able to select two different things – how many websites will use the Memcached platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much content will be stored, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you have a traffic-hungry website with lots of data, you can get one instance and a large amount of memory. The Memcached platform will increase the performance of your sites shortly after you activate it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy better loading times.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is available by default with all VPS hosting plans that are ordered with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it requires to perform correctly is compiled when the VPS server is set up, so you can start using the distributed memory object caching platform as soon as your brand new virtual server is fully operational. The memory that Memcached can use depends on the given plan, but even with the low-end ones, several hundred megabytes will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to optimize the performance of numerous websites hosted on the VPS at the same time and to lower the load even if you manage data-heavy script-powered web portals with multiple visitors. The caching platform can be used with any script – Drupal™, Mambo or Joomla™, or a custom one, and you will observe the faster overall performance soon after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can start using this memory caching system as soon as the dedicated server is completely ready, without needing to upgrade or install anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the server that you’ve selected, but since our servers are astonishingly powerful and given the fact that it’s likely that you’ll host resource-heavy Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be 3 GB. This will allow you to increase the performance of extremely large sites without effort and you’ll note the difference shortly after the Memcached system starts caching database queries. You can take full advantage of the caching system with any database-driven web page, including those that are based on popular CMSs like Joomla™ and WordPress.
