Memcached is a commonly used data caching system, which can enhance the speed and the overall performance of your websites immensely in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so when a customer conducts a search for a certain product on your website, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be executed significantly faster. That goes for all sorts of database-driven applications and not only for online shopping portals, since anytime a specific page is opened, the app sends a query to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open significantly faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the users will not see any old information.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

The Memcached distributed memory caching system is offered as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared website hosting that we’re offering and you can start using it once you order it, since the extension that it requires in order to perform properly is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud platform. You can order the upgrade from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with every web hosting package and a brand-new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is divided into two parts – the number of instances and the system memory, so as to give you more flexibility. The first one shows the number of the sites which can use Memcached, whereas the second, which comes in increments of 16 megabytes, indicates the total size of the content that the system can cache. A regularly visited Internet site with a large database may need more memory so as to take an even greater advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you would like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any time with a few mouse clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you acquire one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, so if you would like to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in the semi-dedicated server hosting account, you can enable it with just a couple of clicks. The object caching platform is suitable for any script-powered software app like Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-developed application, and depending on your necessities, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much info will be cached, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you own a traffic-consuming site with a lot of data, you can get one instance and a large amount of memory. The Memcached platform will improve the performance of your sites soon after you activate it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy much better loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You will get Memcached with each of the VPS server packages offered by our company in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the caching platform via the section with the exact same name. The activation requires several clicks of the mouse and you’ll distinguish the difference in the overall performance of your sites almost instantaneously. The amount of memory that Memcached can take advantage of to store info depends on the given VPS hosting plan that you’ve picked, but in any case it won’t be less than several hundred MB, which is more than enough even for multiple resource-consuming sites. You can use Memcached with sites powered by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other web app and lower the load on your Virtual Private Server, which will allow you to continue using the current Virtual Private Server hosting plan rather than upgrading to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by famous websites such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which verifies its efficiency.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated service that we’re offering and the sole condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the data caching system for any database-powered website, including those that are based on widely used web-based apps – for instance, a WordPress online blog or a Joomla™-powered social networking site. Each dedicated machine comes with a given amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum amount you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to boost the load speed of very large websites significantly, as this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The system will begin storing info as soon as it’s activated, so soon after that, you will distinguish the improved performance of your Internet sites and the decreased load on your dedicated server. Lots of websites use Memcached to boost their efficiency, including popular ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
