Memcached is a popular data caching platform, which can improve the loading speed and the performance of your websites immensely if they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the API/database and the replies that are delivered, so if a client conducts a search for a given product on your website, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire operation will be executed much quicker. This goes for all types of database-driven applications and not only for online shopping portals, as anytime a given web page is visited, the app sends a request to its database to fetch the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be updated, so the website visitors won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Web Hosting

Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each web hosting plan that we’re offering and if you wish to use it for any script-powered website that you host on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to order it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two separate things – the instances and the memory. The first one refers to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached memory caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the total amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use to cache content, so for multiple sites (or for one single resource-demanding site), you’d better order more memory for better results. The memory comes in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be added at any point. With Memcached, every script-based site hosted on our cloud servers will open incredibly fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting offered by our company and make use of its full potential for any script-powered site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two things – the number of instances and the amount of memory. These things define the number of the sites that can use the Memcached platform and the amount of memory that it will use to cache your information. You can choose them independently, since a given instance is not bound to a specific amount of system memory, so you can use lots of memory for a single resource-heavy Internet site, for instance. This upgrade is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you need. The platform can be used with any script-driven site irrespective of its type, including those that are based on widely used Internet apps like Drupal™, Joomla™ or WordPress, and a lot of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to boost the performance of their sites.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached comes as standard with all Linux VPS web hosting services ordered with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it needs so as to perform correctly is compiled when the Virtual Private Server is configured, so you can begin using the caching platform as soon as your new virtual server is completely operational. The memory that Memcached can use depends on the particular plan, but even with the less powerful ones, you will get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal only for this platform. This will permit you to boost the overall performance of numerous sites hosted on the server at the same time and to lower the load on the virtual machine even if you’ve got busy script-based sites with many users. The Memcached caching platform can be used with any script – Drupal™, Joomla™ or Mambo, or a custom-developed script, and you will observe the faster performance shortly after you begin using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you get any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting and if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel at signup, you’ll get the Memcached content caching platform as standard and you can enable it for each website that you host on the dedicated machine without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin storing information as people visit your site, so you will see the effect of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the caching platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for lots of websites or for an extremely heavy site without weakening its efficiency. Memcached will allow you to optimize the loading speed of any database-powered Internet site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal diary, an OpenCart store, etcetera, and to enhance the performance of your dedicated machine.
