Memcached is a widely used data caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the performance of your websites considerably if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so if a client conducts a search for a specific product on your Internet site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire procedure will be performed considerably quicker. This goes for all sorts of database-driven applications and not only for e-stores, as anytime a particular web page is visited, the application sends a database request to fetch the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load much faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the website visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.

Memcached in Website Hosting

When you host script-based websites in a website hosting account with our company, you’ll be able to add the Memcached object caching system to your hosting plan with only a few clicks via your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the needed PHP extension is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different 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 add as much memory as you wish. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you manage a traffic-intensive site with a lot of content, you may need more memory in order to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached easily, as the distributed memory caching platform’s activation takes a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The required extension is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can begin using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your account. You’ll be able to select how many sites can use it and how much information it will cache, i.e. there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the instances and the amount of memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your websites becomes very popular, for instance, you can always get more memory. Our system is extremely flexible in this regard and we do not bind a given number of instances to a pre-defined amount of memory. You can employ Memcached to boost the speed of any script-powered site, including those that are based on widely used web-based applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS

You will get Memcached with any of the virtual private server plans offered by us in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the distributed memory object caching platform via the section with the very same name. The activation takes a couple of clicks and you’ll see the difference in the performance of your Internet sites almost immediately. The amount of system memory that the Memcached platform can take advantage of to cache info depends on the particular VPS hosting plan that you’ve picked, but in any case it will not be less than several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for several large-scale Internet sites. You can use the Memcached platform with sites based on Joomla™, WordPress or any other script and decrease the load on your VPS server, which will allow you to keep using the current plan rather than moving to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by famous websites like Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which is a proof of its efficacy.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server offered by us in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the server with only a few mouse clicks. You can optimize the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-powered software app you’re using or how popular the site is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount rises tremendously with the more powerful dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will begin caching data anytime somebody accesses your site, so, as soon as enough data has been stored, you will see the lowered load on the server and the enhanced overall performance of the Internet site. The Memcached caching system is used by many sites, among them famous portals such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which is a confirmation of the efficiency of the caching system.
