Memcached is a content caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years owing to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can enhance the overall performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced server load considerably. Anytime a page on an app-driven website is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a specific page. When any data is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the users will never end up seeing old data. The Memcached platform is an excellent solution for every website that attracts a lot of visitors, since it will accelerate it and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Website Hosting

When you host script-based websites in a website hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your hosting plan with only a few clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the required PHP extension is pre-installed on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory as many times as you like. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you have a frequently visited site with a lot of content, you may require more memory so as to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add the Memcached distributed memory caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated hosting plans offered by us and use its full potential for any script-powered website hosted on our servers. The upgrade is accessible through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can select two features – the number of instances and the amount of memory. These things determine the number of the sites that can use the Memcached platform and how much memory it will use to store your content. You can choose them separately, since one instance is not bound to a specific amount of memory, so you can use plenty of memory for one resource-consuming Internet site, for instance. This feature is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you need. The platform can be used with any script-powered site irrespective of its nature, including those based on widespread software apps like Joomla™, WordPress or Drupal™, and a lot of companies like Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to enhance the speed of their websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can use the full potential of Memcached with each and every dedicated server that we are offering in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the object caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated server with just a couple of mouse clicks. You can accelerate the overall performance of any site, irrespective of what script-powered web app you are using or how popular the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount rises substantially with the higher-end servers. Soon after the caching system is enabled, it will start caching info each time somebody browses your site, so, once enough info has been cached, you will notice the reduced load on your dedicated server and the optimized overall performance of the website. The Memcached system is used by many sites, including popular portals like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which shows the effectiveness of the Memcached system.
