Memcached is a memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately thanks to its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can enhance the performance of your Internet site and lessen the produced server load substantially. Every time a web page on an application-driven Internet site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a certain web page. When any data is updated, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old content. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for any website that lures plenty of visitors, as it will increase its speed and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux shared hosting package offered by our company and you can start using it as soon as you activate it, as the PHP extension that it requires in order to function correctly is already present on our innovative cloud website hosting platform. You can request the upgrade via the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every hosting package and a brand new section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is separated into two parts – the number of instances and the amount of system memory, so as to give you more versatility. The first one shows the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second, which comes in increments of 16 MB, indicates the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A heavy-traffic website with a very large database may require more memory to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you need to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any given moment with several clicks of the mouse.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you purchase one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you will find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the account, you can activate it with only a couple of mouse clicks. The memory caching platform is suitable for any script-based app like WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom-built application, and depending on your needs, you’ll be able to select two different things – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much content will be stored, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will use. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you run a traffic-hungry website with a lot of content, you can order one instance and a larger amount of memory. The Memcached caching platform will accelerate the performance of your websites shortly after you enable it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy faster loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

You’ll get Memcached with each of the virtual private server packages offered by our company if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the content caching platform via the Control Panel section with the very same name. The activation requires a couple of clicks of the mouse and you’ll notice the difference in the overall performance of your sites almost momentarily. The amount of memory that Memcached can take advantage of to store content depends on the given VPS plan that you’ve chosen, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for several high-demand sites. You can use the Memcached platform with Internet sites powered by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other web application and reduce the load on your virtual server, which will enable you to continue using the current Virtual Private Server hosting plan rather than moving to a more powerful one, as you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which proves its efficacy.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can use the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we are offering if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the data caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with only several clicks of the mouse. You can boost the overall performance of any site, no matter what script-driven application you rely on or how heavy the website is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount rises significantly with the higher-end dedicated servers. Soon after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching information anytime someone accesses your site, so, once enough info has been cached, you will detect the decreased load on the dedicated server and the optimized performance of your website. Memcached is used by plenty of websites, including famous portals like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which confirms the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
