Memcached is a famous memory caching platform, which can boost the loading speed and the overall performance of your sites tremendously in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so when a client searches for a given product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the whole operation will be carried out noticeably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for e-commerce portals, since every time a page is opened, the app sends a database query to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load significantly faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Web Hosting

The Memcached memory caching system comes as an upgrade with each web hosting offered by our company and you can start using it as soon as you add it, since the extension that it needs in order to run correctly is already installed on our innovative cloud platform. You can request the upgrade from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with every shared web hosting plan and a brand-new Control Panel section where you can manage Memcached will appear. The upgrade is divided into two parts – the instances and the amount of system memory, so as to give you more freedom. The first one shows the number of the sites which can use Memcached, while the second, which is available in increments of 16 MB, indicates the total size of the content that can be cached by the system. A frequently visited site with a large-size database may require more memory so as to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you need to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any time with several mouse clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached data caching system as an upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-driven software application, you can use it for any website that you host on our platform, irrespective of what application you have used – WordPress, Mambo or Joomla™, a custom-created one, etc. You can order the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. In simple terms, these things indicate the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your info. The two things are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of memory. You can take full advantage of the Memcached system with any kind of site and both you and your site visitors will quickly see the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

When you acquire a virtual private server from us, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra charge, as the memory caching platform is available with all virtual servers that are ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you run content-heavy sites, you can optimize their performance without efforts and the lowered load on the Virtual Private Server will allow you to keep your current VPS hosting plan instead of moving to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use to store content depends on the package that you’re using, but even with a less powerful one, you’ll get no less than several hundred MB, which is significantly more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared web hosting package, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can use Memcached with any database-powered web app, regardless of whether you’ve built it yourself or you are using a ready-to-use one like OpenCart, WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

Memcached comes for free with all dedicated web hosting offered by us and the sole condition is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the content caching system for any database-powered site, including those that are based on famous Internet applications – for example, a WordPress personal blog or a Joomla™-powered community web portal. Each dedicated server is tied to a specific amount of system memory that the Memcached system can use, but the minimum you’ll get is 3 gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to increase the loading speed of very large sites enormously, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The Memcached system will start storing information once it’s enabled, so shortly after that, you’ll observe the enhanced performance of your websites and the reduced load on your dedicated machine. Numerous Internet sites use Memcached to boost their effectiveness, among them popular ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
