Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and responses between a database and the app that uses it, which can improve the overall performance of your Internet site and lessen the generated load immensely. Anytime a page on an application-powered website is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a certain web page. In case any content is edited, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never see outdated data. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for every site that has plenty of visitors, as it will make it super-fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each and every cloud website hosting account that we offer and in case you want to use it for any script-driven site that you host on our leading-edge cloud platform, you’ll be able to order it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be given the option to upgrade two different features – the number of instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that can use Memcached at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that the system will be permitted to use in order to cache info, so for numerous websites (or for one large site), you should get more memory for better results. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any time. With Memcached, each script-powered site hosted on our cloud servers will load amazingly fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can add it with only a couple of mouse clicks. The object caching platform is ideal for any script-based software application such as Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-developed one, and based on your requirements, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many sites will use the Memcached caching platform, in other words – 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 things are not bound to each other, so if you manage a traffic-hungry site with a lot of content, you can get one instance and a larger amount of memory. Memcached will optimize the overall performance of your websites shortly after you activate it and both you and your visitors will enjoy much better loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

You’ll get Memcached with any of the virtual private server plans that we are offering when you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the platform via the Control Panel section with the very same name. The activation requires several clicks of the mouse and you’ll notice the difference in the performance of your sites almost immediately. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache data depends on the given Virtual Private Server plan that you have picked, but at any rate it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for several large Internet sites. You can use Memcached with websites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other web-based app and lower the load on your VPS server, which will permit you to keep using the current VPS hosting plan rather than switching to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which is a confirmation of its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated hosting services offered by our company and the sole condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-powered website, including those that are based on popular applications – for example, a WordPress weblog or a Joomla™-driven social networking site. Each dedicated machine comes with a particular amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum amount you will get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to boost the loading speed of very popular websites seriously, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The Memcached system will begin storing info once it is activated, so soon thereafter, you’ll detect the improved performance of your Internet sites and the reduced load on your dedicated machine. Many websites use the Memcached system to enhance their efficacy, among them famous ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
