Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and responses between a database and the application that uses it, which can improve the performance of your website and reduce the generated load immensely. Anytime a page on an application-powered Internet site is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a particular page. In case any data is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never see outdated content. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for every site that attracts lots of visitors, as it will speed it up and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

You can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system with all shared plans offered by our company. It’s offered as an optional upgrade, which you can enable with just a couple of clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached the moment you order it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will offer you more versatility depending on the Internet sites that you wish to use it for. The first one defines the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the ‘instances’, while the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can get more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you have, the more data will be cached, which may be a really good idea for heavy-traffic sites with large-size databases and a lot of visitors. Thus, you can improve the overall performance of any script-powered site hosted on our servers with no effort.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add the Memcached content caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated plans offered by our company and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven Internet site hosted by us. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two features – the instances and the amount of system memory. These things specify how many sites can use the Memcached platform and how much system memory it will use to cache your info. You can select them separately, since one instance is not bound to a specific amount of system memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single traffic-consuming website, for instance. This upgrade comes in increments of 16 MB and you can get as much memory as you like. The platform can be used with any script-powered website irrespective of its type, including those that are based on widespread web apps like Drupal™, Joomla™ or WordPress, and many companies such as Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to improve the overall performance of their sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available free of charge with all dedicated web hosting plans that we are offering and the only requirement is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-powered Internet site, including those based on famous Internet applications – for instance, a WordPress online diary or a Joomla™-powered community site. Each server comes with a particular amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum you will get is 3 gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to enhance the speed of extremely popular websites seriously, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The system will start caching content once it is activated, so soon thereafter, you will observe the improved performance of your websites and the decreased server load. Lots of sites use Memcached to increase their efficacy, among them popular ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
