Memcached is a famous caching system, which can enhance the speed and the performance of your Internet sites substantially if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so when someone searches for a certain product on your site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be completed noticeably quicker. This is valid for all kinds of database-powered applications and not only for web shops, as every time a web page is visited, the application sends a database query to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site load noticeably faster, but it will also create much less load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date info.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system with all Linux cloud hosting packages offered by our company. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can obtain with only a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached as soon as you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will offer you more freedom depending on the sites that you would like to use it for. The first part indicates the number of the sites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve got, the more data will be cached, which may be a really good idea for traffic-intensive websites with very large databases and numerous concurrent visitors. In this way, you can improve the speed of any script-based website hosted on our cloud servers without any effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached content caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages and since it works with any script-based software app, you can use it for each website that you host on our servers, irrespective of what app you have used – Joomla, WordPress or Mambo, a custom application, etc. You can order the upgrade from the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two different features – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things determine the number of the sites that will use Memcached and the amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your information. The two features are offered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a particular amount of system memory. You can make full use of the Memcached system with any type of website and both you and your site visitors will quickly notice the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

If you order a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional charge, as the distributed memory caching platform is available with all servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you’ve got large-scale Internet sites, you can boost their overall performance without efforts and the lowered load on your virtual machine will allow you to continue using your current package instead of moving to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache data depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a low-end one, you’ll get no less than several hundred MB, which is significantly more than what you’d get with a shared web hosting package, so the website performance boost will be immense. You can use Memcached with any database-powered web application, irrespective of whether you have set it up on your own or you’re using a ready-to-use one like Joomla, WordPress or OpenCart.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Memcached comes free of charge with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that we’re offering and the only condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the content caching system for any database-driven site, including those that are based on widely used software applications – for example, a WordPress blog or a Joomla-powered community portal. Each dedicated machine comes with a different amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum you’ll get is 3 gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to enhance the loading speed of very large sites immensely, as this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The Memcached system will begin storing data once it’s enabled, so shortly after that, you will see the enhanced performance of your sites and the decreased load on the dedicated server. Lots of Internet sites use Memcached to enhance their efficiency, among them famous ones such as Wikipedia and Reddit.
