Memcached is a popular content caching system, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your sites drastically if they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so if a client searches for a certain product on your site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the whole operation will be executed much faster. That goes for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for e-shops, since every time a particular web page is visited, the application sends a query to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site open much faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors won’t see any old info.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each cloud website hosting package that we are offering and in case you wish to use it for any script-based Internet site that you host on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you will be able to add it in a couple of simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be offered the option to upgrade two different things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached data caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a number of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be allowed to use to cache data, so for multiple websites (or for one single frequently visited site), you’d better get more memory for better results. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With the Memcached caching system, every script-powered site hosted on our servers will open blazing-fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you purchase one of our semi-dedicated server plans, you will find Memcached as an optional feature in the Upgrades part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, so if you would like to use it for any of the websites hosted in the account, you can add it with just a couple of clicks. The data caching platform is suitable for any script-powered software app like WordPress, Joomla™, or even a custom-built application, and depending on your needs, you will be able to select two different features – how many sites will use Memcached, in other words – the number of instances; and how much info will be cached, in other words – the amount of memory that the platform will use. The two things are not tied to each other, so if you run a high-demand website with lots of content, you can order one instance and a larger amount of memory. Memcached will optimize the performance of your websites shortly after you activate it and both you and your visitors will enjoy better load speeds.

Memcached in VPS Servers

When you buy a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no extra fee, as the distributed memory object caching platform is offered with all Virtual Private Servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you’ve got resource-consuming websites, you’ll be able to optimize their performance without effort and the reduced load on your VPS server will allow you to keep your current Virtual Private Server plan rather than migrating to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache data depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a lower-end one, you’ll get at least several hundred MB, which is considerably more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared plan, so the website performance boost will be enormous. You can use Memcached with any database-driven web application, irrespective of whether you’ve set it up on your own or you’re using a ready-for-use one like WordPress, Joomla™ or OpenCart.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using the distributed memory object caching system the moment the server is fully ready, without having to activate or upgrade anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can use depends on the dedicated server that you have chosen, but as our servers are unbelievably powerful and considering the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-intensive sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use is three gigabytes. This will enable you to improve the performance of very heavy sites effortlessly and you will detect the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system begins caching database queries. You can make the most of the caching system with any database-driven online portal, including those based on popular Content Management Systems like WordPress and Joomla™.
