Memcached is a distributed memory object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can enhance the performance of your website and lessen the created server load immensely. Every time a web page on an app-powered site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should be displayed on a particular web page. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The Memcached platform is an excellent option for every website that entices numerous visitors, as it will make it super-fast and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each and every cloud hosting account that we’re offering and in case you would like to use it for any script-powered website that you host on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to add it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be offered the option to upgrade two separate things – the instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the sites that can use the Memcached content caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can get a number of instances. The second one has to do with the total amount of memory that Memcached will be permitted to use to cache content, so for plenty of websites (or for one resource-requiring site), you’d better get more memory for improved performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added every time you need it. With Memcached, any script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers will load unbelievably fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can enable it with only a few mouse clicks. The data caching platform is ideal for any script-based web app such as Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-developed one, and based on your needs, you will be able to select two separate features – how many sites will use the Memcached caching platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much data will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you have a traffic-intensive website with a lot of content, you can get one instance and a large amount of memory. The Memcached platform will improve the performance of your Internet sites soon after you enable it and both you and your visitors will enjoy better load times.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You will get Memcached with each of the VPS server packages offered by our company when you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the data caching platform via the Control Panel section with the very same name. The configuration requires several clicks of the mouse and you will distinguish the difference in the overall performance of your websites almost instantly. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to store content depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting plan that you’ve selected, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for several large sites. You can use Memcached with sites driven by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other script and decrease the load on your VPS, which will enable you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server hosting package rather than switching to a more powerful one, since you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by famous websites such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which is a confirmation of its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Any dedicated server that’s ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can start using this memory caching system the moment your dedicated server is fully operational, without the need to upgrade or install anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the dedicated server that you have picked, but since our servers are stunningly powerful and due to the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-hungry sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be 3 GB. This will permit you to boost the overall performance of extremely busy websites without effort and you’ll detect the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system starts caching database calls. You can make full use of the Memcached caching system with any database-powered web portal, including those that are based on popular CMSs like WordPress and Joomla™.
