Memcached is a famous object caching platform, which can increase the speed and the overall performance of your sites greatly if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so if somebody searches for some product on your website, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to return the results and the entire task will be performed notably faster. That goes for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for e-shops, since anytime a given page is accessed, the app sends a database request to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load significantly faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

The Memcached data caching system comes as an upgrade with each and every Linux shared hosting that we’re offering and you’ll be able to begin using it as soon as you enable it, since the PHP extension that it requires so as to perform correctly is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud platform. You can order the upgrade through the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes bundled with each web hosting package and a brand-new section where you can manage Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the system memory, so as to offer you more versatility. The first one refers to the number of the websites that can use Memcached, whereas the second one, which comes in increments of 16 MB, indicates the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A busy Internet site with a large-sized database may require more memory to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you would like to upgrade this service, you’ll be able to do it at any time with several clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can add the Memcached data caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we’re offering and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven website hosted by us. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two things – the number of instances and the memory. These things show how many websites can use the Memcached caching platform and the amount of system memory that it will use to store your info. You can select them separately, since one instance is not tied to a particular amount of system memory, so you can use lots of memory for a single large-scale site, for example. This upgrade comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you need. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-powered site irrespective of its nature, including those that are based on widespread software apps like WordPress, Drupal™ or Joomla™, and plenty of companies such as Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to improve the performance of their websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated hosting offered by us and the sole condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-driven website, including those that are based on widely used web apps – for example, a WordPress personal weblog or a Joomla™-powered social network. Each dedicated server is tied to a particular amount of memory that Memcached can use, but the minimum you’ll get is 3 GB, which is sufficient enough to boost the speed of extremely heavy sites tremendously, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The Memcached system will begin storing information once it’s activated, so soon after that, you will observe the improved performance of your websites and the decreased load on your dedicated server. Many Internet sites use the Memcached system to increase their efficacy, including famous ones such as Reddit and Wikipedia.
