Memcached is a distributed memory caching system, which has been gaining popularity in recent years because of its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can boost the overall performance of your website and reduce the produced server load substantially. Every time a page on an application-powered website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached the content that should show up on a particular webpage. If any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never see old data. The platform is an excellent choice for any site that draws a lot of viewers, as it will make it extremely fast and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached memory caching system with all Linux shared web hosting offered by our company. It’s offered as an upgrade, which you can add with only a few clicks through your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is already installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached once you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will offer you more flexibility depending on the websites that you would like to use it for. The first part determines the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a pretty good idea for heavy-traffic websites with very large databases and many concurrent visitors. In this way, you can optimize the overall performance of every script-driven Internet site hosted on our cloud servers without effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, so if you would like to use it for any of the websites hosted in the account, you can activate it with only a few clicks. The data caching platform is suitable for any script-driven web application such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom app, and based on your needs, you’ll be able to choose two different features – how many websites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much content will be stored, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not tied to each other, so if you’ve got a regularly visited Internet site with a lot of content, you can order one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached platform will boost the overall performance of your sites shortly after you enable it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy better loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS

You will get Memcached with any of the virtual private server packages that we offer if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the data caching platform through the section with the very same name. The activation takes several mouse clicks and you’ll see the difference in the overall performance of your sites almost momentarily. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can take advantage of to store info depends on the particular VPS hosting plan that you’ve picked, but at any rate it won’t be less than several hundred MB, which is more than enough even for multiple resource-requiring sites. You can use Memcached with websites powered by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other web application and reduce the load on your VPS server, which will allow you to continue 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 popular websites such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which proves its efficacy.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Memcached comes for free with all Linux dedicated hosting that we offer and the sole condition is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-powered site, including those that are based on popular applications – for example, a WordPress blog or a Joomla™-powered community portal. Each server is tied to a given amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum you’ll get is 3 GB, which is quite enough to optimize the load speed of extremely heavy sites enormously, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached content. The Memcached system will start caching info the moment it’s activated, so soon thereafter, you will notice the enhanced overall performance of your Internet sites and the decreased load on the server. Plenty of sites use the Memcached caching system to improve their effectiveness, among them famous ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
