Memcached is a famous content caching system, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your sites substantially in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so if a customer conducts a search for a particular product on your site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole operation will be executed considerably faster. That goes for all types of database-driven applications and not only for online shops, since every time a given page is accessed, the app sends a database query to get the data that should be displayed. 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 updated, so the website visitors will not see any old info.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached content caching system with all Linux cloud hosting offered by our company. It is available as an upgrade, which you can get with just a couple of clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you add it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will offer you more versatility depending on the Internet sites that you wish to use it for. The first part defines the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you’ve got, the more data will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for frequently visited sites with large-sized databases and many simultaneous visitors. Thus, you can accelerate the loading speed of any script-driven Internet site hosted on our cloud servers without any effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you decide to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached easily, as the data caching platform’s setup requires a couple of clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required PHP extension is already installed on our servers, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You’ll be able to choose how many websites can use it and how much content can be cached, in other words – there are two different features that can be upgraded – the instances and the memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your sites becomes extremely popular, for instance, you can always order more memory. Our system is unbelievably flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can use the Memcached caching platform to accelerate any script-powered website, including those that are based on famous web apps, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached is available by default with all Linux VPS web hosting that are ordered with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The PHP extension it requires in order to work properly is compiled when the Virtual Private Server is set up, so you can start using the object caching platform as soon as your brand new virtual server is completely ready. The system memory that the Memcached platform can use depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the low-end plans, you’ll get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will permit you to optimize the overall performance of numerous sites hosted on the server at the same time and to reduce the load on the virtual machine even if you’ve got resource-demanding script-based online portals with a lot of viewers. The caching platform can be used with any script – Drupal™, Mambo or Joomla™, or a custom-built one, and you’ll see the better overall performance soon after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can use the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we offer if you choose Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the data caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with just several clicks. You can boost the performance of any website, no matter what script-driven application you’re using or how large the site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount grows significantly with the higher-end dedicated servers. Soon after the caching system is activated, it will begin caching content each time somebody opens your site, so, once enough data has been stored, you’ll distinguish the decreased load on your dedicated server and the improved performance of the site. The Memcached system is used by numerous websites, among them popular portals like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which demonstrates the efficiency of the Memcached system.
