Memcached is a data caching system, which has been gaining popularity in recent years owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the application that uses it, which can boost the overall performance of your website and decrease the produced load drastically. Every time a webpage on an application-powered website is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a specific page. If any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users will never end up seeing old data. The Memcached platform is a perfect solution for any site that entices many viewers, as it will make it really fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

You can take advantage of Memcached with all Linux cloud web hosting offered by us. It is available as an upgrade, which you can activate with only a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you add it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the Internet sites that you would like to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the websites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a really good idea for popular websites with large databases and a lot of users. Thus, you can accelerate the loading speed of every script-driven site hosted on our cloud servers without effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached with ease, since the platform’s setup takes a few clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension that it requires is pre-installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using the Memcached platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much information it will cache, i.e. there’re two different upgradable features – the number of instances and the amount of system memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your sites becomes very busy, for instance, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is quite flexible in this regard and we do not bind a given number of instances to a pre-defined amount of memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to boost the speed of any script-driven site, including those that are based on popular applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

When you buy a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra cost, as the distributed memory object caching platform is offered with all servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you’ve got traffic-intensive Internet sites, you’ll be able to enhance their performance with ease and the reduced server load will enable you to keep your current Virtual Private Server plan rather than moving to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use to cache info depends on the package that you’re using, but even with a less powerful one, you will have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared plan, so the website performance boost will be enormous. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-driven application, no matter if you’ve written it on your own or you are using a ready-for-use one like OpenCart, WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you acquire one of our Linux dedicated service and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will get the Memcached memory caching platform as standard and you can use it with each Internet site that you host on the dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin storing information as people visit your site, so you’ll notice the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for lots of websites or for an extremely heavy site without weakening its effectiveness. The Memcached platform will enable you to increase the loading speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress blog, an OpenCart web shop, etc., and to enhance the overall performance of your server.
