Memcached is a widespread data caching system, which can increase the loading speed and the performance of your Internet sites considerably if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so if someone conducts a search for a specific product on your website, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire procedure will be carried out noticeably quicker. This is valid for all kinds of database-driven apps and not only for online shopping portals, since anytime a given 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 load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached replies will also be updated, so the visitors won’t see any old info.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached distributed memory object caching system with all cloud website hosting offered by us. It is offered as an optional upgrade, which you can order with just a couple of clicks through your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It needs a PHP extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can start using the Memcached caching system as soon as you add it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the sites that you’d like to use it for. The first part indicates the number of the sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas 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’ve got, the more content will be cached, which may be a really good idea for frequently visited websites with large databases and a lot of users. Thus, you can supercharge the performance of any script-driven Internet site hosted on our servers effortlessly.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get Memcached as an optional upgrade with all our semi-dedicated servers and since it works with any script-based app, you can use it for every site that you host on our platform, irrespective of what application you have used – Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress, a custom one, etc. You can order the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things determine how many websites will use the Memcached system and the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to store your info. The two features are offered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come with a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can use Memcached with any kind of site and both you and your site visitors will quickly note the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached comes by default with each VPS server that we offer on the condition that you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay anything extra to be able to use the full power of this content caching system. The more powerful VPS hosting plan you pick, the more system memory Memcached will have for content caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes all the time, which is much more than the amount of memory you would get with a shared package. This will allow you to use Memcached for numerous Internet sites, regardless of how popular they are, which in turn means that you can use a less powerful package for them without overloading your VPS server. The Memcached caching system is ideal for script-powered software applications like WordPress, Joomla™, OpenCart or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom-built app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached system, it will start storing content and you’ll note the enhanced overall performance of your websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

When you purchase any of our dedicated servers and if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel at signup, you will get the Memcached memory caching platform as standard and you can set it up for any Internet site that you host on your dedicated server without installing or upgrading anything. It will start caching info as people open your Internet site, so you will detect the effects of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is three gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will allow you to take advantage of the platform for multiple websites or for a very popular Internet site without compromising its effectiveness. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to accelerate the loading speed of any database-driven website very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online blog, an OpenCart web store, etc., and to improve the overall performance of your server.
