Memcached is a widespread object caching system, which can improve the speed and the overall performance of your sites significantly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so when a client searches for a particular product on your site, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the whole task will be completed notably faster. That goes for all types of database-powered apps and not only for e-shops, since anytime a given web page is visited, the application connects to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open much faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any content in the database is changed, the cached responses will also be updated, so the users won’t see any old information.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

Memcached is offered as an upgrade with each shared hosting account that we’re offering and in case you wish to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our leading-edge cloud platform, you’ll be able to enable it in a couple of easy steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll get the option to upgrade two different features – the instances and the memory. The first one is related to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached object caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a number of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that the system will be permitted to use to cache content, so for multiple sites (or for one single resource-requiring site), you may want to order more memory for improved performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any time. With Memcached, every script-driven Internet site hosted on our servers will load lightning-fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose to host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you will be able to take advantage of Memcached easily, as the distributed memory caching platform’s activation requires several mouse clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The required extension 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 content it will cache, i.e. there are two different upgradable features – the instances and the system memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your websites becomes very busy, for example, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is extremely flexible in this regard and we do not bind a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can use the Memcached platform to accelerate any script-powered website, including those based on famous applications, such as Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in VPS Web Hosting

When you get a virtual private server from our company, you’ll be able to use Memcached at no additional fee, as the data caching platform is offered with all VPSs ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel. Even if you manage content-rich sites, you will be able to boost their overall performance with ease and the decreased load on your virtual machine will allow you to keep using your current VPS package rather than migrating to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that the Memcached platform can use to store content depends on the package that you are using, but even with a lower-end one, you will get no less than several hundred megabytes, which is considerably more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared hosting package, so the website performance boost will be noticeable. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-driven web app, irrespective of whether you’ve written it yourself or you’re using a ready-made one such as OpenCart, WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you obtain any of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel on the order page, you will get the Memcached 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 start caching information as users access your site, so you will see the result of using it soon after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached caching platform is 3 GB and normally, the more powerful the dedicated package, the more system memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to use the platform for plenty of sites or for an extremely heavy site without compromising its efficacy. Memcached will enable you to optimize the load speed of any database-driven Internet site very quickly – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress online diary, an OpenCart web store, etcetera, and to enhance the overall performance of your dedicated server.
