Memcached is a popular object caching platform, which can improve the loading speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites tremendously if they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so when a client searches for a certain product on your website, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the whole task will be executed noticeably quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-driven apps and not only for web stores, since anytime a given page is opened, the application sends a request to its database to fetch the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors will not see any old info.

Memcached in Web Hosting

When you host script-driven sites in a web hosting account with us, you can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your hosting plan with only a couple of clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the required extension is already installed on our advanced cloud website hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can add memory as many times as you need. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you have a resource-consuming site with a lot of data, you may require more memory so as to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, since the platform’s activation requires a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required extension is pre-installed on our servers, so you can begin using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to choose how many Internet sites can use it and how much information it will cache, in other words – there’re two different features that can be upgraded – the instances and the amount of system memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes extremely busy, 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 pre-defined amount of memory. You can take advantage of Memcached to improve the loading speed of any script-driven site, including those that are based on famous web-based applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is offered by default with each VPS server that we’re offering as long as you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra cash to be able to make the most of the power of this caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server hosting package you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for information storage purposes, but you will 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 plan. This will enable you to use Memcached for lots of Internet sites, irrespective of how popular they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a lower-end plan for them without overloading your virtual server. The caching system is suitable for script-powered software apps such as OpenCart, WordPress, Joomla™ or Mambo, and you can utilize it even with a custom-developed app. Soon after you activate the Memcached caching system, it will begin caching data and you’ll spot the optimized performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can make use of the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we’re offering if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the server with just a couple of mouse clicks. You can optimize the overall performance of any site, irrespective of what script-driven application you are using or how popular the website is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount grows substantially with the higher-end servers. Shortly after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching info every time somebody opens your site, so, as soon as sufficient content has been cached, you’ll see the decreased load on the dedicated server and the improved performance of the website. Memcached is being used by many websites, among them famous portals such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which demonstrates the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
