Memcached is an object caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately owing to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can boost the performance of your site and lessen the generated server load considerably. Every time a webpage on an application-driven Internet site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a given web page. When any data is updated, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. Memcached is a perfect choice for any site that entices a lot of visitors, as it will make it lightning-fast and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

Memcached comes as an upgrade with each shared web hosting plan that we are offering and if you wish to use it for any script-based site that you host on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to add it in a couple of easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will get the option to upgrade two different features – the instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the websites that can use the Memcached caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several websites, you can order a number of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache information, so for lots of sites (or for one single traffic-hungry site), you may want to get more memory for improved performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, every script-driven website hosted on our servers will load blazing-fast.

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, as the data caching platform’s setup takes a couple of mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required PHP extension is pre-installed on our servers, so you can start using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to choose how many websites can use it and how much info can be cached, i.e. there’re two different features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes extremely popular, for example, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is stunningly flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a given number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can take advantage of Memcached to accelerate any script-powered Internet site, including those based on famous apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You’ll get Memcached with any of the VPS server plans that we offer if you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the data caching platform via the section with the very same name. The setup takes a couple of mouse clicks and you will notice the difference in the overall performance of your Internet sites almost instantly. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can employ to cache info depends on the given Virtual Private Server package that you have chosen, but in any case it will be at least several hundred megabytes, which is more than enough even for multiple resource-requiring Internet sites. You can use the Memcached platform with Internet sites driven by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other software application and reduce the load on your virtual server, which will permit you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server plan rather than upgrading to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by famous websites such as Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which is a proof of its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we offer in case you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the dedicated machine with just several clicks of the mouse. You can optimize the performance of any website, regardless of what script-based web app you rely on or how heavy the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount increases immensely with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will start caching information anytime someone opens your website, so, as soon as sufficient information has been stored, you’ll distinguish the reduced load on the server and the improved performance of the website. The Memcached system is being used by many websites, including famous portals such as Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which is an evidence of the effectiveness of the caching system.
