Memcached is a popular data caching system, which can improve the speed and the performance of your websites tremendously in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so if somebody searches for some product on your site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire procedure will be carried out noticeably quicker. That goes for all types of database-powered apps and not only for web shops, as anytime a page is opened, the app sends a database request to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open significantly faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the visitors won’t see any old info.

Memcached in Web Hosting

Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each and every web hosting package offered by our company and if you wish to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our advanced cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in a few easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be given the option to upgrade two different features – the instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a number of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache data, so for many sites (or for one regularly visited site), you’d better get more memory for improved performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any moment. With Memcached, each script-driven Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will load amazingly fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached easily, as the content caching platform’s setup requires a few mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that is required is pre-installed on our servers, so you can start using the Memcached platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to select how many sites can use it and how much data it will cache, i.e. there are two separate upgradable features – the instances and the amount of memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely popular, for instance, you can always order more memory. Our system is really flexible in this regard and we don’t bind a particular number of instances to a pre-defined amount of memory. You can take advantage of Memcached to increase the speed of any script-driven website, including those based on popular web-based applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You will get Memcached with any of the VPS server packages offered by us if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you will be able to activate the data caching platform through the section with the very same name. The setup takes a couple of clicks and you will notice the difference in the performance of your websites almost instantaneously. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use to cache info depends on the given VPS hosting plan that you have selected, but at any rate it will be at least several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for several traffic-hungry websites. You can use the Memcached platform with Internet sites driven by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other software application and decrease the load on your VPS server, which will allow you to continue using the current VPS plan instead of switching to a more powerful one, as you simply won’t need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by famous websites like Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which shows its efficacy.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached comes free of charge with all dedicated servers that we offer and the sole condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-powered site, including those that are based on famous applications – for instance, a WordPress online journal or a Joomla™-powered community site. Each server is tied to a given amount of memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to boost the speed of very busy sites greatly, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The system will start storing information the moment it is activated, so shortly after that, you will notice the improved performance of your sites and the reduced load on your dedicated server. Many Internet sites use Memcached to boost their efficacy, among them popular ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
