Memcached is a widely used memory caching system, which can boost the speed and the overall performance of your websites greatly if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so if someone conducts a search for a particular product on your Internet site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire procedure will be carried out notably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-driven apps and not only for e-shops, since every time a particular web page is opened, the app sends a query to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load noticeably faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.

Memcached in Web Hosting

Memcached is available as an upgrade with each and every web hosting account offered by our company and in case you’d like to use it for any script-driven site that you host on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to order it in a couple of easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be offered the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use to cache info, so for a lot of sites (or for one single traffic-intensive site), you may want to get more memory for better results. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any time. With Memcached, any script-based Internet site hosted on our servers will open lightning-fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the distributed memory caching platform’s activation requires a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension that it requires is pre-installed on our servers, so you can begin using the Memcached platform the moment 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 information can be cached, in other words – there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the amount of memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely popular, for example, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is amazingly flexible in this regard and we don’t bind a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can use the Memcached caching platform to improve the loading speed of any script-powered site, including those that are based on widely used web applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS

Memcached is included by default with every virtual private server that we offer as long as you select Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t need to pay any extra money to be able to use the maximum capacity of this memory caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server plan you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for information storage purposes, but you will have at least several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than what you would get with a shared plan. This will allow you to use the Memcached caching system for a lot of sites, no matter how busy they are, which in turn means that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading your VPS. The caching system is excellent for script-powered web apps such as Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-built app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached system, it will begin caching information and you’ll observe the improved overall performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can use 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 caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the machine with just a couple of clicks. You can improve the performance of any website, irrespective of what script-powered application you’re using or how large the Internet site is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is three gigabytes and this amount rises seriously with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching content anytime somebody opens your website, so, once enough content has been stored, you will perceive the lowered load on the server and the enhanced overall performance of the Internet site. The Memcached caching system is being used by a lot of sites, among them famous portals like Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which shows the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
