Memcached is a content caching system, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years owing to its efficiency. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that is using it, which can enhance the overall performance of your site and decrease the generated load drastically. Anytime a page on an application-driven site is opened, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should show up on a specific web page. When any data is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users will never end up seeing out-of-date data. Memcached is an excellent choice for every Internet site that attracts numerous viewers, since it will make it faster than the blink of an eye and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached data caching system with all cloud hosting packages offered by us. It is available as an upgrade, which you can activate with just a few clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It requires a PHP extension, which is already installed on our cloud platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system the moment you add it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the sites that you wish to use it for. The first one specifies the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have added, the more data will be cached, which may be an exceptionally good idea for busy websites with large-size databases and many simultaneous visitors. Thus, you can boost the performance of every script-based website hosted on our cloud servers with ease.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you buy any of our semi-dedicated server plans, you will find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can add it with only a few clicks. The content caching platform is perfect for any script-powered web app such as Joomla™, WordPress, or even an in-house built app, and based on your needs, you’ll be able to choose two different things – how many sites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much information will be cached, in other words – the amount of system memory that the platform will use. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you have a traffic-hungry Internet site with a lot of data, you can get one instance and a large amount of memory. Memcached will improve the performance of your websites shortly after you activate it and both you and your visitors will enjoy much better load speeds.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

You will get Memcached with any of the virtual private server packages offered by our company in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you will be able to activate the distributed memory object caching platform through the section with the very same name. The setup requires several clicks and you’ll distinguish the difference in the performance of your sites almost instantly. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can employ to cache data depends on the given Virtual Private Server hosting package that you have picked, but at any rate it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for multiple traffic-hungry Internet sites. You can use Memcached with websites driven by WordPress, Joomla™ or any other application and reduce the load on your virtual machine, which will permit you to keep using the current VPS package rather than switching to a more powerful one, since you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by famous websites like Zynga, Reddit and Wikipedia, which proves its efficiency.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we are offering in case you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the content caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with only several clicks. You can improve the performance of any site, regardless of what script-based web application you are using or how heavy the site is, since the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount grows immensely with the more powerful servers. Shortly after the system is activated, it will begin caching content every time someone visits your site, so, as soon as enough content has been cached, you’ll perceive the lowered load on your dedicated machine and the improved performance of the Internet site. The Memcached system is used by numerous websites, including popular portals like Wikipedia, Reddit and Zynga, which is an evidence of the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
