Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can boost the overall performance of your Internet site and lessen the created server load tremendously. Anytime a webpage on an app-powered website is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a certain page. When any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old data. Memcached is an ideal option for every website that draws many visitors, as it will boost its speed and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Web Hosting

When you host script-powered sites in a web hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached object caching system to your shared web hosting package with just a few mouse clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the necessary PHP extension is already installed on our advanced cloud platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory as many times as you want. Naturally, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you run a resource-demanding site with a lot of data, you may require more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can add the Memcached distributed memory caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages offered by us and make use of its full potential for any script-driven Internet site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can select two features – the instances and the amount of memory. These things show the number of the websites that can use the Memcached platform and the amount of system memory that it will use to store your information. You can select them separately, since one instance is not bound to a fixed amount of memory, so you can use a lot of memory for a single resource-hungry website, for example. This upgrade is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you wish. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-driven site regardless of its nature, including those that are based on widespread software apps like Joomla™, Drupal™ or WordPress, and plenty of companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to optimize the speed of their sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you acquire any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and if you select Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel at signup, you’ll get the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform as standard and you can enable it for each Internet site that you host on your server without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin caching data as people open your website, so you’ll detect the results of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicate server package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to take advantage of the caching platform for lots of Internet sites or for a very popular Internet site without compromising its effectiveness. Memcached will enable you to improve the speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress blog, an OpenCart e-shop, etc., and to optimize the overall performance of your dedicated server.
