Memcached is a famous object caching system, which can enhance the speed and the overall performance of your sites substantially if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the API/database and the responses that are returned, so when someone conducts a search for a particular product on your site, for instance, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the entire operation will be performed considerably quicker. That goes for all sorts of database-powered apps and not only for online stores, since anytime a page is visited, the application sends a query to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load noticeably faster, but it will also generate much less load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached responses will also be updated, so the visitors will not see any outdated information.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host script-driven sites in a cloud web hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached caching system to your shared web hosting plan with just a few mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the PHP extension needed for it is already installed on our avant-garde cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many Internet sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory as many times as you need. Naturally, the more memory Memcached is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so if you run a popular website with a lot of content, you may need more memory to be able to take advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you decide to host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account, you can take advantage of Memcached with ease, as the distributed memory object caching platform’s setup takes several clicks from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The PHP extension that it requires is already installed on our servers, so you can start using the Memcached caching platform the moment you add it to your semi-dedicated server account. You will be able to select how many Internet sites can use it and how much info it will cache, in other words – there are two different features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the amount of system memory. You can get more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes extremely popular, for instance, you can always add more memory to it. Our system is pretty flexible in this regard and we do not bind a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of system memory. You can take advantage of the Memcached platform to improve the loading speed of any script-driven Internet site, including those that are based on popular web-based applications, such as WordPress or Joomla™.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is available as standard with all Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension it needs so as to work correctly is compiled when the Virtual Private Server is set up, so you can begin using the memory caching platform the moment your brand new Virtual Private Server is fully operational. The system memory that Memcached can use depends on the particular VPS plan, but even with the low-end ones, you’ll get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will permit you to boost the performance of multiple websites hosted on the VPS simultaneously and to reduce the load on the virtual machine even if you have popular script-powered websites with a lot of viewers. The Memcached caching platform can be used with any script – Mambo, Drupal™ or Joomla™, or a custom-built script, and you will notice the better overall performance shortly after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server offered by our company in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the machine with only a couple of mouse clicks. You can accelerate the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-based application you’re using or how heavy the site is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is three gigabytes and this amount grows significantly with the higher-end servers. Soon after the caching system is enabled, it will begin caching information each time somebody opens your website, so, as soon as sufficient data has been stored, you’ll see the lowered load on your dedicated server and the improved performance of the website. The Memcached system is used by a lot of websites, including popular portals like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which shows the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
