Memcached is a widely used content caching system, which can boost the speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites significantly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so when a client conducts a search for a specific product on your site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole operation will be performed considerably faster. That goes for all kinds of database-powered applications and not only for online shopping portals, since every time a web page is visited, the app sends a request to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site open much faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be updated, so the website visitors will not see any old info.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

When you host script-based sites in a shared website hosting account with us, you will be able to add the Memcached caching system to your hosting plan with only a few mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the extension needed for it is already installed on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many websites will use Memcached) and to the memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you need. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so if you manage a resource-requiring site with lots of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get any of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the sites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can activate it with just a few clicks. The data caching platform is ideal for any script-driven web application such as Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-built application, and depending on your necessities, you will be able to select two different features – how many websites will use the Memcached caching platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much information will be stored, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not bound to each other, so if you manage a high-demand site with lots of content, you can order one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached platform will increase the overall performance of your Internet sites soon after you enable it and both you and your visitors will enjoy much faster loading speeds.

Memcached in VPS Servers

If you acquire a VPS server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional fee, as the content caching platform is available with all Virtual Private Servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have large-size Internet sites, you will be able to optimize their overall performance with no effort and the reduced load on the VPS server will permit you to keep your current Virtual Private Server hosting plan rather than moving to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to store info depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a lower-end one, you will have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared package, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can use Memcached with any database-powered web app, irrespective of whether you’ve created it yourself or you’re using a ready-made one such as Joomla™, WordPress or OpenCart.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you buy one of our dedicated servers and if you pick Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel at signup, you will get the Memcached distributed memory caching platform as standard and you can activate it for each site that you host on the server without installing or upgrading anything. It will start caching content as users open your site, so you will detect the effect of using it soon after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the dedicate server package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for numerous Internet sites or for a very busy website without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to increase the speed of any database-driven website in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal journal, an OpenCart e-store, etcetera, and to optimize the overall performance of your dedicated machine.
