Memcached is a famous content caching platform, which can enhance the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites considerably if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so if someone searches for a given product on your website, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to display the results and the whole task will be completed noticeably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-driven applications and not only for e-commerce portals, as every time a web page is accessed, the application sends a database query to fetch the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site open significantly faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the visitors won’t see any out-of-date info.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

When you host script-based websites in a shared website hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your plan with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the PHP extension required for it is already installed on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory whenever you need. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you’ve got a resource-intensive website with lots of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you choose to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached easily, since the content caching platform’s setup takes a few clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required PHP extension is already installed on our servers, so you can start using Memcached the moment you add it to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much data it will cache, in other words – there are two different upgradable features – the number of instances and the memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes very busy, for example, you can always order more memory. Our system is extremely flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a specific number of instances to a fixed amount of system memory. You can employ the Memcached platform to improve the speed of any script-driven Internet site, including those that are based on widely used apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

You’ll get Memcached with any of the VPS server plans offered by our company when you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the distributed memory caching platform through the section with the same name. The configuration requires a couple of clicks and you will detect the difference in the performance of your websites almost instantly. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can employ to store info depends on the given VPS hosting plan that you have selected, but at any rate it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for several resource-consuming Internet sites. You can use the Memcached platform with sites driven by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other app and lower the load on your virtual machine, which will allow you to keep using the current VPS hosting package instead of switching to a more powerful one, since you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which confirms its efficiency.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available for free with all dedicated web hosting plans that we offer and the one and only requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-driven website, including those that are based on widely used web applications – for instance, a WordPress personal journal or a Joomla™-driven social network. Each dedicated server is tied to a different amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum amount you will get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to improve the speed of very busy websites greatly, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached content. The system will begin storing data the moment it’s activated, so shortly after that, you will notice the optimized performance of your websites and the lowered load on your dedicated server. A lot of Internet sites use the Memcached system to improve their effectiveness, including famous ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
