Memcached is a data caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the application that uses it, which can boost the overall performance of your site and lessen the created server load significantly. Every time a page on an application-powered website is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should show up on a particular web page. In case any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users will never see old data. Memcached is a perfect option for every Internet site that lures lots of visitors, since it will boost its speed and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

The Memcached distributed memory object caching system is available as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux shared web hosting that we’re offering and you’ll be able to begin using it as soon as you order it, since the PHP extension that it requires so as to run correctly is pre-installed on our advanced cloud platform. You can request the upgrade through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with each shared web hosting package and a new section where you can administer Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the amount of memory, so as to offer you more freedom. The first one refers to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second, which comes in increments of 16 megabytes, defines the maximum size of the content that can be cached by the system. A popular website with a large-sized database may need more memory to take an even greater advantage of the Memcached caching system, so if you want to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any given point with a couple of mouse clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get Memcached as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated plans and since it works with any script-based web app, you can use it for each site that you host on our platform, irrespective of what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom-developed one, etc. You can order the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated 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 show the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system and the amount of system memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your information. The two things are ordered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of memory. You can make full use of the Memcached system with any sort of website and both you and your website visitors will quickly spot the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached comes by default with all VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it requires in order to work properly is compiled when the VPS is set up, so you can begin using the data caching platform as soon as your brand-new server is up and running. The memory that Memcached can use depends on the given VPS plan, but even with the lower-end plans, several hundred megabytes will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will allow you to boost the overall performance of numerous websites hosted on the VPS at the same time and to reduce the load even if you own large-scale script-based sites with lots of viewers. Memcached can be used with any script – Mambo, Joomla™ or Drupal™, or a custom-built script, and you’ll see the better performance soon after you begin using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you acquire any of our Linux dedicated web hosting plans and if you choose Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel during the signup process, you will get the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform by default and you can use it with each Internet site that you host on your dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin storing data as people open your Internet site, so you will detect the result of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for multiple websites or for a very busy site without weakening its efficiency. Memcached will permit you to boost the loading speed of any database-powered website in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online blog, an OpenCart store, etcetera, and to optimize the overall performance of your server.
