Memcached is a caching system, which has been gaining in popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your website and decrease the produced server load greatly. Every time a webpage on an application-powered site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a specific webpage. In case any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never see old data. Memcached is an excellent choice for any site that draws a lot of visitors, since it will make it open much faster and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

When you host script-based websites in a shared website hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached caching system to your hosting plan with just a few clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the extension required for it is already installed on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can add memory whenever you want. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so if you’ve got a busy website with lots of content, you may require more memory so as to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy any of our semi-dedicated server packages, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you wish to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in your account, you can add it with just a few clicks of the mouse. The distributed memory caching platform is suitable for any script-driven software application like WordPress, Joomla™, or even an in-house made one, and depending on your demands, you’ll be able to select two different things – how many websites will use the Memcached platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much info will be stored, i.e. the amount of system memory that the platform will employ. The two things are not tied to each other, so if you manage a traffic-heavy website with a lot of data, you can order one instance and a larger amount of system memory. Memcached will increase the performance of your websites shortly after you enable it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy better load speeds.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is offered by default with each VPS server that we are offering provided that you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra cash to be able to take advantage of the potential of this caching system. The more powerful Virtual Private Server hosting package you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for information caching purposes, but you’ll have no less than several hundred megabytes at all times, which is much more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared package. This will permit you to use the Memcached system for numerous sites, irrespective of how popular they are, which in turn means that you can use a low-end package for them without overloading your VPS server. The Memcached caching system is ideal for script-based apps like Joomla™, WordPress, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached caching system, it will begin caching content and you will notice the enhanced performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you acquire one of our dedicated web hosting plans and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel on the order page, you’ll get the Memcached content caching platform by default and you can enable it for each site that you host on the server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin storing content as people visit your site, so you’ll detect the effects of using it soon thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is 3 GB and naturally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the platform for lots of sites or for an extremely heavy Internet site without weakening its efficacy. The Memcached caching platform will permit you to increase the loading speed of any database-driven Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress blog, an OpenCart store, etc., and to boost the overall performance of your server.
