Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its efficiency. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your site and lessen the generated server load tremendously. Anytime a webpage on an app-powered Internet site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a certain webpage. When any data is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. The platform is an excellent option for every website that entices numerous visitors, as it will make it open faster and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Web Hosting

You can use the Memcached data caching system with all Linux web hosting packages that we’re offering. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can obtain with just a few clicks via your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system once you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the websites that you wish to use it for. The first one specifies the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the system memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can order more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have added, the more data will be cached, which may be a pretty good idea for frequently visited sites with very large databases and numerous concurrent visitors. Thus, you can improve the overall performance of every script-powered website hosted on our servers without effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can get the Memcached distributed memory object caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated packages and since it works with any script-based software application, you can use it for any Internet site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, irrespective of what app you have used – Joomla™, WordPress or Mambo, a custom-built application, etc. You can request the upgrade via the respective section of the Hepsia Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two different features – the number of instances and the amount of memory that they will use. In simple terms, these things specify how many sites will use the Memcached caching system and how much memory the system will be able to use in order to store your information. The two things are ordered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come bundled with a particular amount of memory. You can take full advantage of Memcached with any type of site and both you and your visitors will quickly notice the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can make use of the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server that we’re offering in case you select Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the object caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the machine with just several clicks. You can improve the overall performance of any website, regardless of what script-driven app you rely on or how heavy the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount increases enormously with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the caching system is activated, it will start caching data each time someone accesses your site, so, once sufficient info has been cached, you’ll see the reduced load on the dedicated machine and the improved performance of your Internet site. The Memcached caching system is being used by numerous websites, including famous portals such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which shows the efficiency of the caching system.
