Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its effectiveness. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the application that is using it, which can enhance the performance of your website and lessen the generated server load greatly. Anytime a page on an application-powered website is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should be shown on a certain webpage. In case any data is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the site visitors will never see old data. Memcached is an excellent solution for every Internet site that entices lots of viewers, as it will make it faster than the blink of an eye and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

The Memcached caching system is available as an optional upgrade with every shared hosting plan offered by our company and you’ll be able to begin using it once you activate it, since the extension that it needs so as to perform properly is already present on our innovative cloud web hosting platform. You can order the upgrade through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with each hosting package and a brand new Control Panel section where you can manage Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the system memory, so as to offer you more flexibility. The first one shows the number of the sites which can use the Memcached caching system, while the second, which is available in increments of 16 MB, determines the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A regularly visited Internet site with a large-size database may need more memory so as to take an even greater advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you would like to upgrade this service, you will be able to do it at any moment with several mouse clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get the Memcached data caching system as an optional upgrade with each of our semi-dedicated hosting plans and since it works with any script-driven software application, you can use it for every website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, regardless of what app you have used – Joomla™, Mambo or WordPress, a custom-built one, etc. You can add the upgrade via the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting 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 indicate the number of the websites 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 ordered independently for more freedom and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of system memory. You can take full advantage of the Memcached system with any kind of website and both you and the site visitors will swiftly distinguish the difference in the performance.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Any dedicated server ordered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel comes with Memcached pre-installed by default, so you can begin using this data caching system as soon as the server is up and running, without needing to upgrade or install anything. The amount of system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the very server that you’ve selected, but since our servers are remarkably powerful and given the fact that it is likely that you will host resource-demanding Internet sites on them, the minimum amount of memory that the caching system can use will be 3 GB. This will allow you to boost the performance of extremely large Internet sites effortlessly and you will notice the difference soon after the Memcached system begins caching database calls. You can make use of the system with any database-driven web page, including those based on popular Content Management Systems such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
