Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its efficiency. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can accelerate the performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced load immensely. Anytime a web page on an application-powered website is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should show up on a particular page. In case any data is changed, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The Memcached platform is a perfect choice for every site that has lots of viewers, as it will make it faster than the blink of an eye and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared package offered by our company and you will be able to start using it as soon as you activate it, since the PHP extension that it needs in order to run properly is pre-installed on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform. You can order the upgrade via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with every shared web hosting package and a brand new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the amount of system memory, so as to give you more flexibility. The first one shows the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second one, which is available in increments of 16 MB, defines the total size of the content that can be cached by the system. A traffic-heavy Internet site with a very large database may need more memory to take an even greater advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you wish to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any moment with a few clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached memory caching system as an upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated packages and since it works with any script-driven web app, you can use it for each site that you host on our servers, no matter what app you have used – Mambo, WordPress or Joomla™, a custom-built application, etc. You can order the upgrade through the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two different features – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. In simple terms, these things define how many sites will use Memcached and the amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your information. The two features are offered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any sort of website and both you and your website visitors will quickly spot the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

Memcached is offered by default with each virtual private server that we offer as long as you select Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you won’t need to pay anything extra to be able to take advantage of the power of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server package you select, the more memory Memcached will have for content caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred MB all the time, which is much more than what you would get with a shared hosting package. This will allow you to use the Memcached system for multiple websites, no matter how popular they are, which in turn means that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading your server. The Memcached caching system is perfect for script-based applications like OpenCart, WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached system, it will begin caching data and you will detect the improved performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you purchase one of our dedicated web hosting and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the signup process, you’ll get the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform by default and you can set it up for any website that you host on your dedicated server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching information as people open your Internet site, so you will detect the effect of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is three gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to take advantage of the platform for plenty of sites or for a very large site without weakening its efficacy. Memcached will permit you to boost the loading speed of any database-powered site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress blog, an OpenCart e-shop, etc., and to boost the overall performance of your dedicated server.
