Memcached is a popular distributed memory object caching system, which can improve the speed and the performance of your websites tremendously in case they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so if a user conducts a search for a given product on your Internet site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the whole operation will be completed notably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-powered applications and not only for e-commerce portals, as every time a specific page is visited, the application sends a database query to fetch the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open considerably 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 If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be updated, so the users won’t see any out-of-date info.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached object caching system with all shared hosting that we are offering. It is offered as an optional upgrade, which you can get with just a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It requires an extension, which is already installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system once you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more versatility depending on the websites that you wish to use it for. The first part specifies the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve added, the more data will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for regularly visited sites with large databases and a lot of concurrent visitors. In this way, you can increase the overall performance of every script-powered website hosted on our servers without any effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached with ease, as the memory caching platform’s setup takes a few clicks of the mouse from the Hepsia Control Panel. The extension that is required is already installed on our semi-dedicated servers, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you add it to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many websites can use it and how much data it will cache, in other words – there’re two different features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the system memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes very popular, for instance, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is pretty flexible in this regard and we don’t tie a particular number of instances to a fixed amount of memory. You can employ the Memcached caching platform to improve the speed of any script-driven site, including those based on widely used web-based apps, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

Memcached comes by default with every virtual private server that we’re offering as long as you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel, so you will not need to pay any extra money to be able to make the most of the maximum potential of this data caching system. The more powerful VPS plan you select, the more memory Memcached will have for content caching purposes, but you’ll have at least several hundred megabytes all the time, which is much more than what you would get with a shared web hosting plan. This will permit you to use the Memcached system for lots of sites, no matter how heavy they are, which in turn goes to say that you can use a low-end plan for them without overloading your virtual server. The Memcached caching system is ideal for script-driven applications such as OpenCart, Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, and you can use it even with a custom app. Shortly after you activate the Memcached caching system, it will start caching information and you’ll note the improved overall performance of your sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Any dedicated server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel comes with Memcached already installed by default, so you can start using this caching system the moment the dedicated server is fully functional, without needing to activate or upgrade anything. The amount of memory that Memcached can use depends on the very server that you’ve selected, but as our servers are unbelievably powerful and given the fact that it is likely that you’ll host resource-hungry websites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the system can use will be 3 gigabytes. This will allow you to increase the performance of very large sites without effort and you’ll notice the difference shortly after the Memcached caching system begins caching database calls. You can take full advantage of the Memcached system with any database-driven site, including those that are based on famous Content Management Systems like Joomla™ and WordPress.
