Memcached is a widespread distributed memory caching system, which can accelerate the loading speed and the overall performance of your sites greatly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so if someone conducts a search for a particular product on your website, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the entire operation will be executed considerably quicker. That goes for all types of database-driven apps and not only for web shops, as every time a web page is opened, the app connects to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the users will not see any old info.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached caching system with all shared web hosting that we are offering. It is available as an upgrade, which you can obtain with just a few clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached as soon as you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will offer you more freedom depending on the websites that you would like to use it for. The first part concerns the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the system memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have added, the more content will be cached, which may be a pretty good idea for heavy-traffic websites with large databases and plenty of visitors. Thus, you can increase the performance of every script-based website hosted on our servers with ease.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you acquire one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you’ll find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you’d like to use it for any of the sites hosted in the semi-dedicated account, you can add it with only a few mouse clicks. The content caching platform is perfect for any script-based software application like Joomla™, WordPress, or even a custom-made app, and depending on your requirements, you’ll be able to select two separate things – how many sites will use the Memcached caching platform, in other words – the number of instances; and how much information will be stored, in other words – the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two features are not bound to each other, so if you run a traffic-intensive Internet site with a lot of data, you can order one instance and a larger amount of system memory. The Memcached caching platform will accelerate the overall performance of your sites soon after you activate it and both you and your site visitors will enjoy better load speeds.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

When you buy a virtual private server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra cost, as the data caching platform comes with all servers ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you manage content-loaded sites, you’ll be able to improve their overall performance effortlessly and the lowered server load will enable you to keep your current VPS package instead of switching to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache information depends on the package that you’re using, but even with a low-end one, you’ll have no less than several hundred megabytes, which is considerably more than what you’d get with a shared package, so the website performance boost will be serious. You can use Memcached with any database-powered application, no matter if you have written it on your own or you are using a ready-for-use one like WordPress, OpenCart or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can make use of the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server offered by us if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any Internet site hosted on the dedicated server with only several clicks of the mouse. You can boost the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-powered web app you are using or how busy the Internet site is, as the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount grows substantially with the more powerful dedicated servers. Soon after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching content every time someone opens your site, so, as soon as sufficient content has been stored, you’ll distinguish the lowered load and the optimized performance of your Internet site. The Memcached system is being used by lots of websites, among them famous portals like Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which demonstrates the efficiency of the caching system.
