Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can improve the overall performance of your site and decrease the produced load significantly. Anytime a page on an app-powered website is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should be shown on a certain web page. When any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. Memcached is a perfect option for every site that attracts a lot of visitors, as it will make it astonishingly fast and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

Memcached is available as an upgrade with each cloud web hosting plan offered by us and in case you wish to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to enable it in a few easy steps via your Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be given the option to upgrade two different features – the instances and the system memory. The first one is related to the number of the websites that can use the Memcached data caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache content, so for a lot of sites (or for one single traffic-heavy site), you should get more memory for better performance. The memory comes in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any point. With Memcached, each script-based Internet site hosted on our servers will load faster than the speed of light.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get Memcached as an optional upgrade with all our semi-dedicated hosting and since it works with any script-powered application, you can use it for any site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what application you have used – Mambo, WordPress or Joomla™, a custom-built app, etc. You can order the upgrade through the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two different features – the instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it in simple terms, these things define how many sites will use Memcached and the amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to cache your data. The two features are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a fixed amount of memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any sort of site and both you and the visitors will quickly notice the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Hosting

Memcached is available by default with all VPS hosting ordered with our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. The extension it requires in order to work properly is compiled when the Virtual Private Server is set up, so you can start using the distributed memory caching platform the moment your brand-new VPS server is fully operational. The system memory that the Memcached platform can employ depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the lower-end plans, several hundred megabytes will be at your disposal exclusively for this platform. This will permit you to improve the performance of multiple sites hosted on the VPS simultaneously and to reduce the load on the machine even if you run popular script-powered websites with numerous users. The Memcached platform can be used with any script – Drupal™, Joomla™ or Mambo, or a custom-made script, and you’ll observe the faster overall performance shortly after you begin using it.
