Memcached is a popular caching system, which can increase the loading speed and the performance of your sites significantly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so when someone conducts a search for a certain product on your Internet site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the entire task will be executed considerably quicker. That goes for all types of database-driven applications and not only for online stores, as every time a web page is visited, the app sends a database request to fetch the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.

Memcached in Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached content caching system with all Linux hosting that we’re offering. It’s available as an optional upgrade, which you can activate with just a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system the moment you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the sites that you would like to use it for. The first one defines the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have, the more content will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for traffic-intensive sites with large databases and numerous users. Thus, you can boost the loading speed of every script-powered Internet site hosted on our cloud servers without efforts.

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 software app, you can use it for any site that you host on our platform, no matter what application you have used – WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, a custom-developed one, etc. You can order the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two different things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things define how many Internet sites will use the Memcached caching system and how much memory the system will be able to use to store your info. The two features are ordered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of system memory. You can make use of Memcached with any type of site and both you and your website visitors will swiftly detect the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS

When you purchase a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional charge, as the caching platform is available with all VPSs ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you own heavy Internet sites, you can optimize their performance with no effort and the decreased load on your virtual machine will allow you to continue using your current VPS plan rather than switching to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use to cache content depends on the package that you are using, but even with a low-end one, you will get at least several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can take advantage of Memcached with any database-powered application, regardless of whether you’ve created it yourself or you are using a ready-for-use one like WordPress, Joomla™ or OpenCart.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can make use of the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server offered by our company if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with just several mouse clicks. You can boost the performance of any site, no matter what script-driven software app you’re using or how heavy the Internet site is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount grows considerably with the more powerful dedicated servers. Soon after the caching system is enabled, it will begin caching info anytime someone opens your website, so, once sufficient content has been stored, you’ll distinguish the decreased load on your dedicated machine and the optimized performance of the website. Memcached is used by lots of sites, among them popular portals such as Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which proves the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
