Memcached is a memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your site and reduce the created server load greatly. Every time a webpage on an application-driven website is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should appear on a given page. If any data is edited, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users will never see out-of-date content. Memcached is an ideal choice for every Internet site that attracts numerous viewers, as it will make it extremely fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux shared hosting that we offer. It’s offered as an optional upgrade, which you can get with only a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system once you add it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the Internet sites that you wish to use it for. The first part determines the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have ordered, the more data will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for high-demand sites with large databases and lots of visitors. In this way, you can increase the speed of every script-powered site hosted on our cloud servers with no effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached distributed memory object caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-based application, you can use it for each site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what app you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom one, etc. You can add the upgrade through the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two separate features – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use. Basically, these things define how many websites will use the Memcached caching system and the total amount of system memory that the system will be able to use to cache your content. The two features are offered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any type of website and both you and the site visitors will quickly detect the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS

Memcached comes by default with all VPS ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. The extension it needs in order to perform correctly is compiled when the server is set up, so you can start using the data caching platform once your new Virtual Private Server is completely operational. The system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the given VPS plan, but even with the lower-end ones, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal only for this platform. This will allow you to accelerate the performance of multiple websites hosted on the virtual server at the same time and to lower the load even if you’ve got traffic-hungry script-based online portals with multiple users. The Memcached platform can be used with any script – Joomla™, Drupal™ or Mambo, or a custom-built script, and you’ll see the faster performance soon after you begin using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can use the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server that we are offering if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the machine with only a few mouse clicks. You can optimize the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-powered software app you are using or how large the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount increases considerably with the higher-end servers. Soon after the caching system is enabled, it will begin caching data anytime someone visits your website, so, as soon as enough data has been stored, you’ll see the decreased load on the dedicated machine and the optimized performance of your site. Memcached is used by plenty of sites, including famous portals like Wikipedia, Reddit and Zynga, which demonstrates the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
