Memcached is a popular distributed memory caching system, which can boost the speed and the performance of your sites drastically in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the replies that are returned, so if a user conducts a search for a given product on your site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire operation will be carried out much quicker. This is valid for all kinds of database-powered applications and not only for e-commerce portals, since anytime a particular page is accessed, the app connects to its database to get the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site open considerably faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any content in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be updated, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date information.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

The Memcached data caching system is available as an upgrade with each and every Linux cloud hosting offered by us and you will be able to begin using it once you order it, since the extension that it requires so as to work properly is already available on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform. You can request the upgrade from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each and every shared web hosting package and a brand new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will appear. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the number of instances and the amount of memory, so as to offer you more flexibility. The first one refers to the number of the sites which can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second one, which comes in increments of 16 MB, determines the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A traffic-intensive website with a very large database may require more memory so as to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you’d like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any point with several clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire any of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades part of your Hepsia Control Panel, so if you want to use it for any of the sites hosted in your semi-dedicated server hosting account, you can add it with just a couple of clicks. The object caching platform is ideal for any script-driven app such as WordPress, Joomla™, or even a tailor-made one, and based on your requirements, you will be able to select two different features – how many Internet sites will use the Memcached platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much data will be stored, i.e. the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you have a traffic-intensive Internet site with lots of content, you can order one instance and a large amount of system memory. The Memcached platform will accelerate the overall performance of your sites soon after you enable it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy better load times.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

You’ll get Memcached with each of the virtual private server plans that we are offering in case you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel and you will be able to activate the content caching platform through the Control Panel section with the same name. The configuration takes several clicks and you’ll notice the difference in the performance of your websites almost instantly. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can employ to cache information depends on the given Virtual Private Server package that you have picked, but at any rate it won’t be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for multiple traffic-consuming websites. You can use Memcached with Internet sites powered by Joomla™, WordPress or any other software application and reduce the load on your virtual server, which will allow you to continue using the current VPS hosting plan rather than migrating to a more powerful one, since you simply won’t need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites like Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which proves its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can begin using the content caching system once the server is configured, without needing to upgrade or install anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can employ depends on the dedicated server that you’ve picked, but as our servers are extremely powerful and given the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-demanding Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use is three gigabytes. This will allow you to accelerate the performance of very large sites with ease and you will note the difference soon after Memcached starts caching database queries. You can use the system with any database-powered web page, including those based on popular CMSs such as WordPress and Joomla™.
