Memcached is a widely used object caching system, which can enhance the speed and the performance of your Internet sites greatly 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 if someone conducts a search for a specific product on your website, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the entire procedure will be completed much faster. This goes for all kinds of database-powered applications and not only for online shopping portals, since every time a particular page is accessed, the application connects to its database to fetch the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load considerably faster, but it will also create much less load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors won’t see any old info.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

Memcached is available as an optional upgrade with each cloud hosting plan that we offer and in case you’d like to use it for any script-powered site that you host on our leading-edge cloud platform, you will be able to enable it in a few simple steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you will be offered the option to upgrade two different features – the instances and the memory. The first one has to do with the number of the sites that can use the Memcached memory caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use to cache content, so for a lot of sites (or for one busy site), you’d better order more memory for improved performance. The memory is available in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, any script-driven website hosted on our servers will open much faster.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can get the Memcached data caching system as an upgrade with each of our Linux semi-dedicated service and since it works with any script-driven software app, you can use it for any site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, regardless of what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla™ or WordPress, a custom application, etc. You can add the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you manage your semi-dedicated server account, and you can select two separate things – the instances and the amount of system memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things define the number of the sites that will use Memcached and the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use in order to store your content. The two features are ordered independently for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a fixed amount of memory. You can make the most of the Memcached system with any sort of website and both you and your visitors will quickly see the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in VPS Servers

When you order a VPS server from our company, you will be able to use Memcached at no additional price, as the platform is available with all virtual machines ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you run content-rich Internet sites, you’ll be able to optimize their performance without efforts and the decreased load on your virtual machine will enable you to keep your current Virtual Private Server hosting plan instead of upgrading to a more powerful one. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to cache information depends on the plan that you’re using, but even with a low-end one, you will get at least several hundred megabytes, which is significantly more than the amount of memory you’d get with a shared package, so the website performance boost will be serious. You can use the Memcached platform with any database-powered application, regardless of whether you have set it up yourself or you are using a ready-for-use one such as OpenCart, Joomla™ or WordPress.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire any of our dedicated servers and if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel during the signup procedure, you will get the Memcached platform as standard and you can use it with any site that you host on your dedicated machine without installing or upgrading anything. It will begin storing content as users visit your site, so you’ll see the effect of using it shortly after that. The minimum amount of memory that will be available to the Memcached platform is 3 GB and naturally, the more powerful the plan, the more memory Memcached will have at its disposal. This amount will permit you to take advantage of the platform for plenty of websites or for an extremely busy website without compromising its efficiency. The Memcached platform will permit you to enhance the speed of any database-driven site in no time – a Joomla™ portal, a WordPress weblog, an OpenCart e-store, etc., and to optimize the performance of your server.
