Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can boost the performance of your site and reduce the created server load greatly. Anytime a webpage on an application-driven website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should be shown on a given webpage. When any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users will never see old data. Memcached is a perfect solution for every website that draws numerous visitors, as it will accelerate it and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host script-based websites in a cloud web hosting account with our company, you’ll be able to add the Memcached object caching system to your web hosting plan with just a couple of clicks through your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available immediately and, since the required extension is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more versatility, 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 comes in increments of 16 MB and you can add as much memory as you want. Logically, the more memory Memcached is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you’ve got a large-sized site with a lot of content, you may need more memory to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you choose to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached easily, since the data caching platform’s setup requires a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension that it requires is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using the Memcached platform as soon as you add it to your account. You will be able to select how many websites can use it and how much info can be cached, in other words – there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the system memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very busy, for example, you can always order more memory. Our system is incredibly flexible in this regard and we do not bind a specific number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can use the Memcached caching platform to boost the speed of any script-driven website, including those that are based on popular web-based apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached comes by default with all Linux VPS web hosting packages that are ordered with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it requires in order to function correctly is compiled when the server is configured, so you can begin using the distributed memory caching platform as soon as your brand new virtual server is fully operational. The system memory that the Memcached platform can employ depends on the given plan, but even with the less powerful ones, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will permit you to accelerate the overall performance of multiple websites hosted on the virtual server at the same time and to lower the load on the machine even if you’ve got frequently visited script-powered portals with many visitors. The Memcached platform can be used with any script – Drupal™, Joomla™ or Mambo, or a custom-developed one, and you will distinguish the faster performance shortly after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you get one of our dedicated servers hosting and if you select Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you will get the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform as standard and you can activate it for each site that you host on your server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching data as users visit your Internet site, so you will notice the effect of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will enable you to use the platform for a large number of sites or for a very busy website without weakening its efficacy. Memcached will allow you to enhance the load speed of any database-driven Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal weblog, an OpenCart e-shop, etcetera, and to boost the performance of your dedicated server.
