Memcached is a widespread caching platform, which can increase the speed and the performance of your websites greatly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, 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 entire operation will be completed notably faster. That goes for all sorts of database-powered apps and not only for e-stores, as every time a specific web page is opened, the application sends a database query to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load significantly faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the website visitors will not see any old information.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

The Memcached caching system comes as an upgrade with each Linux cloud hosting that we offer and you’ll be able to start using it once you order it, since the PHP extension that it needs so as to run properly is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform. You can request the upgrade through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each web hosting package and a brand-new section where you can manage Memcached will appear. The upgrade is divided into two parts – the instances and the memory, so as to give you more flexibility. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached caching system, while the second one, which is offered in increments of 16 megabytes, defines the total size of the content that the system can cache. A traffic-heavy website with a very large database may require more memory to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you would like to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any time with a few clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached content caching system as an upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-powered software application, you can use it for any Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, irrespective of what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom-developed one, etc. You can request the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. Basically, these things specify the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system and the maximum amount of system memory that the system will be able to use to store your information. The two features are offered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a particular amount of system memory. You can take advantage of Memcached with any kind of site and both you and your website visitors will quickly spot the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached is offered by default with each virtual private server offered by our company as long as you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not have to pay anything extra to be able to use the potential of this caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server plan you pick, the more memory Memcached will have for information storage purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred MB all the time, which is much more than the amount of memory you would get with a shared web hosting plan. This will allow you to use the Memcached caching system for a lot of Internet sites, regardless of how heavy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading your Virtual Private Server. The caching system is perfect for script-driven applications such as WordPress, Joomla™, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-built app. Soon after you enable the Memcached system, it will begin storing content and you’ll notice the optimized overall performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached comes free of charge with all Linux dedicated servers hosting that we offer and the sole condition is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory object caching system for any database-driven site, including those that are based on popular web apps – for example, a WordPress online journal or a Joomla™-powered community site. Each server comes with a different amount of memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum amount you’ll get is 3 gigabytes, which is quite enough to increase the loading speed of extremely busy websites greatly, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The system will begin storing information the moment it’s activated, so soon thereafter, you will notice the improved overall performance of your websites and the reduced load on the dedicated server. Many Internet sites use the Memcached system to increase their efficiency, including popular ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
