Memcached is a commonly used distributed memory object caching platform, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites substantially in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so if a client searches for a specific product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the whole procedure will be completed significantly faster. This is valid for all types of database-driven applications and not only for Internet shops, since anytime a given web page is accessed, the application sends a database query to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the website visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

If you host script-powered websites in a shared hosting account with our company, you can add the Memcached distributed memory caching system to your web hosting plan with only a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the necessary PHP extension is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can add as much memory as you like. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so if you manage a large-scale site with lots of content, you may require more memory to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can add the Memcached caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated services that we’re offering and use its full capacity for any script-powered website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can select two features – the instances and the amount of system memory. These things specify how many sites can use the Memcached caching platform and how much system memory it will use to cache your info. You can choose them independently, since a given instance is not linked to a specific amount of memory, so you can use plenty of memory for one traffic-consuming site, for instance. This upgrade comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you wish. The platform can be used with any script-driven website irrespective of its type, including those based on popular Internet apps like Joomla™, WordPress or Drupal™, and plenty of companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to accelerate the performance of their websites.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

When you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional charge, as the distributed memory object caching platform is available with all VPSs ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have resource-demanding sites, you’ll be able to increase their overall performance without effort and the reduced load on your VPS server will enable you to keep using your current VPS hosting package rather than upgrading to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to store content depends on the plan that you are using, but even with a less powerful one, you’ll get at least several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting package, so the website performance boost will be serious. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-driven web application, no matter if you have created it yourself or you are using a ready-made one such as Joomla™, OpenCart or WordPress.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached comes for free with all dedicated hosting services that we offer and the one and only requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the data caching system for any database-driven Internet site, including those that are based on popular apps – for example, a WordPress online journal or a Joomla™-driven social network. Each dedicated server comes with a specific amount of memory that the Memcached system can use, but the minimum amount you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to boost the load speed of very heavy websites considerably, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The system will begin storing info as soon as it’s enabled, so shortly thereafter, you will notice the enhanced overall performance of your websites and the lowered load on the server. Lots of sites use the Memcached caching system to increase their efficiency, including famous ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
