Memcached is a famous object caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the performance of your sites immensely if they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so when somebody conducts a search for a given product on your site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to return the results and the entire operation will be executed considerably faster. That goes for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for web stores, since anytime a given web page is opened, the app sends a request to its database to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the website visitors won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

The Memcached caching system comes as an optional upgrade with each Linux shared hosting offered by our company and you will be able to begin using it once you add it, since the extension that it needs so as to function correctly is already installed on our advanced cloud website hosting platform. You can request the upgrade from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every shared hosting plan and a brand-new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is divided into two parts – the instances and the amount of memory, so as to give you more freedom. The first one shows the number of the websites that can use Memcached, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 16 megabytes, specifies the total size of the content that can be cached by the system. A traffic-intensive site with a large database may require more memory to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you’d like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any given time with a couple of clicks of the mouse.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached caching system as an upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-powered software app, you can use it for any site that you host on our servers, regardless of what app you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-created app, etc. You can add the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate things – the instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. Basically, these things determine how many websites will use the Memcached system and the amount of system memory that the system will be able to use to cache your info. The two things are ordered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a pre-defined amount of memory. You can take advantage of Memcached with any kind of site and both you and the visitors will swiftly see the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS

You will get Memcached with each of the virtual private server packages offered by us in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the content caching platform through the Control Panel section with the very same name. The activation takes a couple of clicks of the mouse and you’ll detect the difference in the performance of your websites almost momentarily. The amount of system memory that the Memcached platform can use to store content depends on the particular VPS plan that you have picked, but at any rate it won’t be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for multiple regularly visited Internet sites. You can use Memcached with websites driven by Joomla™, WordPress or any other software app and reduce the load on your VPS, which will allow you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server package instead of upgrading to a more powerful one, as you simply won’t need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by popular websites like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which is a confirmation of its efficacy.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Memcached comes free of charge with all Linux dedicated hosting that we are offering and the one and only condition is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the data caching system for any database-powered website, including those that are based on famous web apps – for instance, a WordPress personal weblog or a Joomla™-driven community website. Each server is tied to a specific amount of system memory that the Memcached system can use, but the minimum amount you’ll get is 3 gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to optimize the loading speed of extremely popular websites considerably, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The Memcached system will begin storing content as soon as it’s enabled, so soon thereafter, you’ll notice the optimized overall performance of your Internet sites and the reduced load. A lot of websites use the Memcached system to enhance their efficiency, among them famous ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
