Memcached is a famous distributed memory caching system, which can improve the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites immensely in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so when someone searches for a specific product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be completed noticeably quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-powered apps and not only for web stores, since every time a given page is visited, the app sends a database request to fetch the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors will not see any old info.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of Memcached with all cloud hosting offered by us. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can get with only a few clicks through your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system the moment you add it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will offer you more flexibility depending on the sites that you want to use it for. The first part reveals the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a very good idea for regularly visited websites with large-size databases and numerous users. Thus, you can optimize the overall performance of every script-based site hosted on our cloud servers with no effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add the Memcached memory caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated servers that we’re offering and use its full capacity for any script-driven site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can select two features – the instances and the system memory. These things specify how many websites can use the Memcached platform and the amount of system memory that it will use to cache your data. You can select them separately, since a given instance is not linked to a specific amount of system memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single resource-requiring website, for example. This feature comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you wish. The platform can be used with any script-driven site irrespective of its nature, including those based on widespread software apps like WordPress, Drupal™ or Joomla™, and many companies such as Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to boost the speed of their sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of our dedicated servers and if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will get the Memcached data caching platform by default and you can set it up for any website that you host on the dedicated machine without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching information as people visit your site, so you’ll notice the result of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the caching platform for a lot of sites or for an extremely popular website without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached caching platform will enable you to boost the speed of any database-driven website very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online blog, an OpenCart web store, etcetera, and to improve the performance of your server.
