Memcached is a popular object caching system, which can enhance the loading speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites considerably in case they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so if somebody conducts a search for a specific product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the whole procedure will be performed notably faster. This is valid for all types of database-powered apps and not only for web stores, since anytime a given web page is visited, the app sends a query to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open significantly faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any outdated info.

Memcached in Web Hosting

If you host script-powered sites in a web hosting account with our company, you can add the Memcached distributed memory caching system to your hosting package with only a couple of clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the necessary extension is already installed on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of system memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can add memory as many times as you want. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you manage a traffic-consuming site with a lot of data, you may need more memory to be able to take advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you order any of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can enable it with just a few mouse clicks. The data caching platform is perfect for any script-powered application like WordPress, Joomla, or even a custom-built app, and depending on your needs, you will be able to select two different features – how many Internet sites will use the Memcached caching platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much content will be stored, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you manage a traffic-hungry Internet site with lots of data, you can get one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached caching platform will improve the performance of your Internet sites shortly after you activate it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy faster loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is included by default with every VPS server offered by our company if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra money to be able to take advantage of the full capacity of this data caching system. The more powerful VPS hosting package you select, the more memory Memcached will have for data storage purposes, but you will have at least several hundred megabytes all the time, which is much more than what you would get with a shared package. This will permit you to use Memcached for multiple sites, no matter how busy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading your server. The Memcached caching system is excellent for script-driven apps such as WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-made app. Soon after you enable the Memcached caching system, it will start caching data and you will notice the enhanced performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server offered by our company in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the distributed memory object caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the dedicated server with only a few clicks. You can increase the performance of any site, regardless of what script-powered web application you rely on or how heavy the website is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount increases considerably with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is activated, it will start caching content anytime somebody accesses your site, so, once enough information has been cached, you will detect the decreased load and the enhanced performance of your site. Memcached is being used by lots of sites, among them popular portals such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which shows the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
