Memcached is a distributed memory caching system, which has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can enhance the overall performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced load immensely. Anytime a web page on an app-driven website is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a particular page. When any data is modified, the Memcached content is updated too, so the visitors will never see outdated data. The platform is an excellent option for any site that entices many viewers, as it will speed it up and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each and every shared web hosting account that we’re offering and in case you would like to use it for any script-driven Internet site that you host on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to order it in a few easy steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be offered the option to upgrade two separate things – the instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that the system will be permitted to use in order to cache content, so for a lot of websites (or for one traffic-consuming site), you may want to get more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered at any moment. With the Memcached caching system, each script-based Internet site hosted on our servers will load much faster.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you decide to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached with ease, as the platform’s setup takes several clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The required PHP extension is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can start using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your account. You will be able to select how many Internet sites can use it and how much info it will cache, i.e. there are two different upgradable features – the number of instances and the amount of memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your websites becomes very popular, for example, you can always get more memory. Our system is stunningly flexible in this regard and we don’t bind a given number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to accelerate any script-powered website, including those based on popular Internet apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is available as standard with all VPS hosting plans that are ordered with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The PHP extension it requires so as to function correctly is compiled when the VPS server is set up, so you can start using the object caching platform as soon as your brand new virtual server is completely ready. The system memory that the Memcached caching platform can use depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the less powerful plans, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will permit you to optimize the overall performance of numerous sites hosted on the VPS server simultaneously and to lower the load on the virtual machine even if you have content-heavy script-based web portals with plenty of viewers. The Memcached platform can be used with any script – Joomla™, Drupal™ or Mambo, or a custom-made script, and you’ll notice the better overall performance shortly after you begin using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

If you buy any of our dedicated web hosting plans and if you pick Hepsia as your web hosting Control Panel on the order page, you’ll get the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform as standard and you can enable it for any site that you host on your dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching info as users access your Internet site, so you will see the effects of using it soon thereafter. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will enable you to take advantage of the caching platform for many websites or for an extremely popular Internet site without weakening its efficiency. The Memcached platform will permit you to increase the loading speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal journal, an OpenCart store, etcetera, and to optimize the performance of your dedicated machine.
