Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and responses between a database and the application that uses it, which can accelerate the performance of your website and decrease the generated load considerably. Anytime a webpage on an app-driven site is opened, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should be shown on a particular webpage. If any data is updated, the Memcached content is updated too, so the visitors will never end up seeing outdated content. Memcached is an ideal option for every Internet site that lures plenty of viewers, as it will make it super-fast and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

The Memcached data caching system comes as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux shared website hosting package that we’re offering and you’ll be able to begin using it once you enable it, since the extension that it needs in order to perform properly is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform. You can order the upgrade from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is offered with every hosting plan 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 system memory, so as to give you more freedom. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites which can use Memcached, while the second, which is available in increments of 16 megabytes, specifies the maximum size of the content that can be cached by the system. A busy site with a large database may require more memory so as to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you want to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any moment with several clicks of the mouse.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you order one of our semi-dedicated server packages, you will find Memcached as an optional upgrade in the Upgrades section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the Internet sites hosted in your semi-dedicated account, you can add it with just a couple of clicks of the mouse. The platform is perfect for any script-based web application such as Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-developed app, and based on your demands, you’ll be able to choose two separate things – how many Internet sites will use the Memcached caching platform, i.e. the number of instances; and how much data will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory that the platform will employ. The two features are not tied to each other, so if you own a traffic-heavy Internet site with lots of data, you can get one instance and a large amount of memory. Memcached will boost the performance of your websites shortly after you enable it and both you and your website visitors will enjoy better load speeds.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

When you buy one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and if you pick Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel during the order process, you’ll get the Memcached object caching platform by default and you can use it with each site that you host on the dedicated machine without upgrading or installing anything. It will start caching information as users visit your website, so you will detect the effect of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the dedicate server package, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the platform for many sites or for an extremely popular site without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached caching platform will allow you to accelerate the loading speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal blog, an OpenCart web shop, etcetera, and to enhance the performance of your server.
