Memcached is a distributed memory caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years owing to its effectiveness. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the application that’s using it, which can increase the performance of your website and lessen the produced load tremendously. Every time a page on an app-powered site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a particular webpage. If any content is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users will never end up seeing out-of-date data. Memcached is an excellent solution for every website that draws a lot of viewers, since it will make it astonishingly fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

When you host script-based sites in a shared hosting account with us, you can add the Memcached content caching system to your plan with just a couple of clicks of the mouse through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the required PHP extension is already installed on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory whenever you need. Logically, the more memory Memcached is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you run a large-sized website with lots of data, you may require more memory so as to be able to take advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you will find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can add it with only a couple of clicks of the mouse. The platform is ideal for any script-powered software application like Joomla™, WordPress, or even an in-house made one, and based on your demands, you’ll be able to choose two separate things – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much info will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not tied to each other, so if you own a frequently visited Internet site with lots of data, you can get one instance and a larger amount of memory. Memcached will optimize the overall performance of your sites soon after you activate it and both you and your visitors will enjoy much better loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS

Memcached is included by default with each and every virtual private server that we offer provided that you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you won’t have to pay any extra cash to be able to use the full power of this memory caching system. The more powerful VPS package you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for content storage purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting plan. This will enable you to use Memcached for plenty of websites, irrespective of how busy they are, which in turn means that you can use a less powerful plan for them without overloading the VPS. The Memcached caching system is ideal for script-powered web applications like WordPress, OpenCart, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom app. Shortly after you enable the Memcached system, it will begin caching data and you’ll spot the optimized performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we offer in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the content caching system and you can start using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the dedicated server with just a couple of clicks. You can boost the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-powered software app you’re using or how heavy the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 gigabytes and this amount rises seriously with the higher-end servers. Soon after the system is activated, it will start caching data anytime somebody browses your site, so, as soon as enough content has been stored, you’ll perceive the lowered load on your dedicated machine and the optimized overall performance of the site. The Memcached caching system is used by many websites, including famous portals such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which is an evidence of the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
