Memcached is a commonly used data caching system, which can boost the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites greatly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so if a customer searches for a specific product on your website, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the entire procedure will be completed significantly quicker. This goes for all kinds of database-driven apps and not only for online shops, since every time a particular page is accessed, the application sends a database query to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load considerably faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the website visitors won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Website Hosting

Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each and every website hosting package that we are offering and in case you’d like to use it for any script-driven site that you host on our avant-garde cloud platform, you will be able to add it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll be given the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the system memory. The first one is related to the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached data caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache content, so for multiple websites (or for one traffic-consuming site), you’d better order more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any time. With Memcached, each script-powered Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will open extremely fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, as the data caching platform’s activation takes several mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension that it requires is pre-installed on our servers, so you can begin using Memcached as soon as you add it to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many Internet sites can use it and how much content it will cache, i.e. there are two separate features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the amount of system memory. You can order more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes very popular, for example, you can always get more memory. Our system is quite flexible in this regard and we do not tie a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of memory. You can employ the Memcached platform to accelerate any script-powered website, including those that are based on famous software apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You will get Memcached with any of the VPS server packages that we offer in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel and you will be able to activate the object caching platform via the Control Panel section with the exact same name. The setup requires several mouse clicks and you will notice the difference in the performance of your Internet sites almost instantaneously. The amount of system memory that the Memcached platform can use to store content depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting plan that you have selected, but in any case it will be at least several hundred MB, which is more than enough even for multiple resource-intensive sites. You can use the Memcached platform with websites based on WordPress, Joomla™ or any other app and reduce the load on your VPS, which will permit you to continue using the current Virtual Private Server package rather than moving to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by popular websites such as Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which proves its efficiency.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can use the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we offer if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the server with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can enhance the performance of any site, no matter what script-powered software app you’re using or how popular the website is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount increases substantially with the higher-end servers. Soon after the system is enabled, it will begin caching data each time someone browses your website, so, as soon as enough information has been cached, you will distinguish the lowered load and the improved overall performance of the website. The Memcached caching system is being used by plenty of websites, among them popular portals such as Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which shows the efficiency of the caching system.
