Memcached is a memory caching system, which has been gaining in popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and responses between a database and the app that uses it, which can accelerate the performance of your Internet site and reduce the created load drastically. Anytime a webpage on an app-driven website is opened, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a particular web page. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated too, so the visitors will never see out-of-date content. Memcached is an excellent option for every Internet site that entices many viewers, since it will make it really fast and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

The Memcached caching system comes as an optional upgrade with every shared hosting offered by our company and you will be able to begin using it as soon as you add it, since the PHP extension that it requires in order to run correctly is already available on our innovative cloud platform. You can order the upgrade through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with every shared hosting package and a brand-new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the number of instances and the memory, so as to give you more versatility. The first one refers to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached caching system, while the second, which comes in increments of 16 megabytes, specifies the maximum size of the content that can be cached by the system. A traffic-intensive Internet site with a large-sized database may need more memory to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so in case you need to upgrade this service, you’ll be able to do it at any moment with several clicks of the mouse.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you will find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you would like to use it for any of the websites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can activate it with only a few mouse clicks. The distributed memory object caching platform is ideal for any script-powered app such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom one, and depending on your demands, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many sites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much data will be cached, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will use. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you have a busy website with a lot of content, you can order one instance and a large amount of system memory. The Memcached caching platform will improve the performance of your Internet sites shortly after you enable it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy much better loading times.

Memcached in VPS

You will get Memcached with each of the virtual private server packages offered by our company when you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the caching platform via the section with the very same name. The setup takes a couple of clicks of the mouse and you’ll see the difference in the performance of your websites almost momentarily. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can take advantage of to store content depends on the particular Virtual Private Server package that you have chosen, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for multiple content-rich sites. You can use the Memcached platform with websites driven by Joomla™, WordPress or any other app and lower the load on your VPS server, which will allow you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server hosting plan rather than moving to a more powerful one, since you will simply not need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by popular websites like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which shows its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated hosting and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel on the order form, you’ll get the Memcached caching platform by default and you can use it with each Internet site that you host on the dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will start storing information as users access your site, so you will detect the effects of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is 3 GB and naturally, the more powerful the dedicate server plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the platform for numerous websites or for a very popular website without compromising its efficiency. Memcached will enable you to boost the load speed of any database-driven site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal diary, an OpenCart e-shop, etc., and to optimize the performance of your dedicated server.
