Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately due to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can improve the performance of your site and decrease the produced load substantially. Every time a web page on an app-driven website is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a given page. If any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old data. Memcached is an excellent choice for every Internet site that attracts plenty of visitors, since it will make it open much faster and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux cloud hosting packages that we’re offering. It is offered as an upgrade, which you can get with just a couple of clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system the moment you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will offer you more versatility depending on the websites that you wish to use it for. The first one indicates the number of the sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have, the more content will be cached, which may be a pretty good idea for regularly visited sites with large-sized databases and many users. In this way, you can boost the overall performance of any script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers effortlessly.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the memory caching platform’s activation requires a couple of clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required PHP 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 will be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much content it will cache, in other words – there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes extremely popular, for example, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is incredibly flexible in this regard and we don’t bind a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can employ Memcached to boost the loading speed of any script-driven website, including those based on popular web-based apps, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we offer in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can accelerate the performance of any site, no matter what script-driven web app you are using or how large the site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is three gigabytes and this amount grows tremendously with the higher-end dedicated servers. Soon after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching info every time somebody opens your website, so, once sufficient info has been cached, you will notice the lowered server load and the optimized overall performance of the website. Memcached is being used by many websites, including famous portals like Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which shows the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
