Memcached is a memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that’s using it, which can enhance the overall performance of your website and lessen the produced server load considerably. Every time a webpage on an application-driven site is opened, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a specific web page. If any data is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never end up seeing old data. The Memcached platform is an ideal choice for any site that attracts plenty of visitors, since it will make it extra-fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

If you host script-based websites in a shared website hosting account with us, you will be able to add the Memcached content caching system to your shared web hosting package with only a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available immediately and, since the required extension is already installed on our innovative cloud platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory as many times as you like. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so if you own a resource-demanding website with lots of content, you may need more memory to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get the Memcached memory caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-based application, you can use it for any website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, regardless of what app you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-created one, etc. You can add the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two separate features – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things indicate the number of the sites that will use the Memcached system and the amount of memory that the system will be able to use to store your information. The two things are offered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of memory. You can take advantage of the Memcached system with any kind of website and both you and the visitors will swiftly distinguish the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is offered by default with each VPS server offered by our company as long as you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay anything extra to be able to take advantage of the power of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful plan you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for content caching purposes, but you will have no less than several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than what you would get with a shared hosting plan. This will enable you to use the Memcached system for a lot of sites, irrespective of how large they are, which in turn means that you can use a lower-end package for them without overloading your server. The caching system is suitable for script-powered software apps like OpenCart, WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-created app. Shortly after you activate Memcached, it will begin caching data and you’ll notice the enhanced performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can use the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we are offering if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the machine with only a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can boost the performance of any website, no matter what script-powered web application you’re using or how popular the site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount increases tremendously with the more powerful servers. Soon after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching information each time somebody accesses your website, so, once sufficient data has been cached, you will perceive the decreased load on your dedicated server and the improved overall performance of your site. The Memcached system is being used by a lot of websites, among them popular portals such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which shows the efficiency of the Memcached system.
