Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining in popularity lately due to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can enhance the performance of your Internet site and decrease the created server load greatly. Every time a web page on an application-driven website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a given web page. In case any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the users will never see old content. The platform is an ideal option for any site that draws numerous visitors, as it will make it extra-fast and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached data caching system with all Linux cloud website hosting that we’re offering. It’s available as an optional upgrade, which you can activate with only a couple of clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached the moment 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 one concerns the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the system memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have, the more data will be cached, which may be a pretty good idea for frequently visited sites with large-size databases and a lot of users. In this way, you can improve the loading speed of every script-based Internet site hosted on our servers without any effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add the Memcached caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated servers that we’re offering and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two things – the number of instances and the amount of memory. These things define how many websites can use Memcached and the amount of memory that it will use to cache your content. You can choose them separately, since one instance is not tied to a fixed amount of system memory, so you can use lots of memory for one resource-consuming Internet site, for instance. This upgrade comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you need. The platform can be used with any script-driven website regardless of its type, including those that are based on popular apps like Joomla™, WordPress or Drupal™, and many companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to enhance the loading speed of their websites.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is available as standard with all Linux VPS service ordered with our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The extension it needs to work properly is compiled when the virtual server is configured, so you can begin using the distributed memory caching platform the moment your brand-new VPS is fully ready. The system memory that the Memcached platform can employ depends on the given VPS plan, but even with the lower-end plans, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to boost the overall performance of multiple sites hosted on the VPS server at the same time and to decrease the load on the machine even if you run content-loaded script-driven portals with a lot of viewers. The platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Drupal™ or Joomla™, or a custom-made script, and you’ll distinguish the better performance shortly after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available for free with all dedicated service offered by our company and the sole requirement is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the caching system for any database-driven Internet site, including those that are based on famous apps – for example, a WordPress personal blog or a Joomla™-powered social networking site. Each dedicated machine is tied to a given amount of memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum you’ll get is 3 gigabytes, which is quite enough to enhance the loading speed of very popular websites substantially, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The system will start storing content as soon as it’s enabled, so shortly after that, you’ll observe the optimized performance of your Internet sites and the lowered load on your dedicated machine. Lots of sites use the Memcached caching system to improve their effectiveness, including popular ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
