Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It’s used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can enhance the performance of your Internet site and reduce the generated load considerably. Anytime a web page on an application-driven website is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a certain webpage. When any content is changed, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never see out-of-date content. Memcached is an ideal choice for every Internet site that attracts plenty of viewers, since it will make it faster than the speed of light and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each cloud web hosting account offered by us and in case you’d like to use it for any script-based website that you host on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to activate it in a few easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be given the option to upgrade two separate features – the number of instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache data, so for many sites (or for one single traffic-intensive site), you may want to get more memory for better performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, each script-based website hosted on our cloud servers will open faster than the speed of light.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached distributed memory caching system as an upgrade with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-powered software app, you can use it for every Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom-created one, etc. You can add the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two separate things – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. Basically, these things show the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system and how much memory the system will be able to use in order to cache your info. The two things are offered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any type of website and both you and your site visitors will quickly notice the difference in the performance.

Memcached in VPS

You will get Memcached with each of the virtual private server plans that we’re offering if you select Hepsia as your Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the platform via the Control Panel section with the very same name. The setup takes a few clicks and you’ll detect the difference in the overall performance of your Internet sites almost immediately. The amount of system memory that the Memcached caching platform can use to cache content depends on the particular Virtual Private Server hosting plan that you’ve selected, but at any rate it will not be less than several hundred MB, which is more than enough even for multiple heavy Internet sites. You can use the Memcached platform with websites based on Joomla™, WordPress or any other script and decrease the load on your virtual machine, which will allow you to continue using the current VPS plan rather than upgrading to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. Memcached is already being used by popular websites such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Zynga, which demonstrates its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

If you order one of our Linux dedicated hosting and if you select Hepsia as your website hosting Control Panel on the order form, you will get the Memcached object caching platform as standard and you can activate it for any site that you host on your dedicated machine without upgrading or installing anything. It will begin caching content as people visit your website, so you will detect the effects of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of system memory that will be available to the caching platform is three gigabytes and naturally, the more powerful the dedicated plan, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the caching platform for lots of websites or for a very heavy site without compromising its efficiency. Memcached will permit you to boost the load speed of any database-powered website in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress personal blog, an OpenCart web store, etc., and to enhance the overall performance of your dedicated machine.
