Memcached is a famous content caching platform, which can accelerate the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites considerably if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so if someone searches for a specific product on your Internet site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the whole task will be carried out noticeably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for Internet shops, as every time a given page is accessed, the app sends a request to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open significantly faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the users won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Hosting

Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each hosting account that we are offering and if you would like to use it for any script-driven Internet site that you host on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to add it in several simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be offered the option to upgrade two different features – the number of instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a number of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache info, so for a lot of websites (or for one single traffic-intensive site), you’d better order more memory for better results. The memory is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, each script-powered site hosted on our servers will load much faster.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get any of our semi-dedicated server plans, you will find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the sites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can enable it with just a few clicks. The object caching platform is suitable for any script-driven application such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom-developed one, and based on your necessities, you will be able to choose two separate features – how many websites will use the Memcached platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much content will be cached, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you run a high-demand website with lots of content, you can order one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached platform will enhance the performance of your Internet sites soon after you enable it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy better load times.

Memcached in VPS

Memcached is offered by default with every virtual private server that we are offering provided that you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not have to pay any extra cash to be able to make the most of the maximum potential of this distributed memory caching system. The more powerful VPS hosting package you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for data caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred megabytes all the time, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting package. This will enable you to use the Memcached caching system for a lot of websites, regardless of how busy they are, which in turn means that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading the virtual server. The caching system is excellent for script-based software applications such as OpenCart, WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-developed app. Shortly after you enable Memcached, it will begin caching info and you’ll distinguish the improved performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Each dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using the object caching system the moment your dedicated server is completely ready, without the need to upgrade or activate anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can employ depends on the very server that you’ve picked, but since our servers are remarkably powerful and considering the fact that it’s likely that you’ll host resource-hungry websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use is 3 gigabytes. This will permit you to accelerate the overall performance of extremely busy websites without efforts and you will notice the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system starts caching database calls. You can make use of the system with any database-driven website, including those based on popular CMSs such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
