Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately due to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can boost the overall performance of your website and reduce the produced load substantially. Every time a page on an application-powered website is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a specific page. In case any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The Memcached platform is an excellent choice for every website that has a lot of visitors, as it will make it extra-fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached content caching system with all cloud hosting that we’re offering. It’s available as an optional upgrade, which you can acquire with just a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached once you add it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the Internet sites that you would like to use it for. The first part determines the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the system memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you’ve got, the more content will be cached, which may be a really good idea for high-demand sites with large-sized databases and plenty of concurrent visitors. Thus, you can supercharge the performance of any script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers with no effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the sites hosted in your account, you can activate it with just a couple of clicks. The content caching platform is ideal for any script-powered software app like Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-built app, and based on your requirements, you will be able to choose two different features – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much content will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you’ve got a high-demand website with a lot of content, you can get one instance and a larger amount of system memory. Memcached will enhance the performance of your Internet sites soon after you activate it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy better load speeds.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You will get Memcached with each of the VPS server packages that we are offering in case you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the data caching platform through the section with the exact same name. The activation takes a few clicks and you will detect the difference in the performance of your sites almost momentarily. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ to cache information depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting plan that you have chosen, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for multiple popular sites. You can use the Memcached platform with sites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other app and lower the load on your server, which will permit you to keep using the current VPS hosting package rather than upgrading to a more powerful one, since you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which is an evidence of its efficiency.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Any dedicated server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using this content caching system once your dedicated server is set up, without the need to activate or upgrade anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use depends on the server that you’ve selected, but since our servers are rather powerful and considering the fact that it’s likely that you’ll host resource-hungry websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be 3 GB. This will allow you to enhance the performance of extremely busy websites with no effort and you’ll observe the difference soon after Memcached starts caching database requests. You can use the Memcached system with any database-powered site, including those based on popular CMSs like Joomla™ and WordPress.
