Memcached is a widely used memory caching platform, which can improve the loading speed and the performance of your sites immensely in case they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so when a visitor searches for some product on your site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be carried out much quicker. This is valid for all kinds of database-driven apps and not only for e-shops, as anytime a specific web page is visited, the application sends a request to its database to fetch the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load considerably faster, but it will also create much less load. If any data in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors will not see any outdated info.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

When you host script-powered websites in a shared website hosting account with us, you can add the Memcached memory caching system to your web hosting package with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the needed extension is already installed on our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you want. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you manage a resource-absorbing site with a lot of content, you may require more memory to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached object caching system as an upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated services and since it works with any script-driven web application, you can use it for every Internet site that you host on our platform, regardless of what app you have used – WordPress, Mambo or Joomla™, a custom-developed app, etc. You can request the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate features – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things indicate how many Internet sites will use the Memcached system and the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your content. The two features are offered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of system memory. You can use the Memcached system with any type of site and both you and your site visitors will swiftly distinguish the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

If you acquire a virtual private server from us, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional fee, as the platform comes with all VPSs ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you have busy websites, you will be able to increase their overall performance with no effort and the lowered load on your virtual machine will allow you to keep using your current VPS package instead of moving to a more powerful one. The amount of system memory that Memcached can use to store info depends on the package that you’re using, but even with a lower-end one, you will have at least several hundred MB, which is considerably more than what you’d get with a shared hosting plan, so the website performance boost will be substantial. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform with any database-driven application, regardless of whether you have set it up on your own or you’re using a ready-for-use one such as OpenCart, Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you purchase any of our Linux dedicated web hosting and if you pick Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel during the signup process, you will get the Memcached data caching platform by default and you can set it up for any Internet site that you host on your dedicated server without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching info as people access your website, so you will notice the effect of using it shortly thereafter. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 gigabytes and normally, the more powerful the dedicate server plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will enable you to use the platform for lots of websites or for a very popular site without weakening its effectiveness. The Memcached platform will allow you to improve the speed of any database-driven Internet site very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress weblog, an OpenCart e-shop, etc., and to optimize the overall performance of your server.
