Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can improve the overall performance of your site and lessen the produced load greatly. Anytime a page on an application-powered site is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a particular webpage. In case any content is changed, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never see outdated data. The Memcached platform is an excellent option for any Internet site that lures numerous viewers, since it will make it open much faster and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each and every shared web hosting that we are offering and you can start using it the moment you enable it, as the extension that it requires in order to work properly is already present on our avant-garde cloud website hosting platform. You can request the upgrade from the Hepsia Control Panel, which is available with each shared hosting package and a brand-new section where you can manage Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the memory, so as to offer you more freedom. The first one refers to the number of the websites which can use Memcached, whereas the second, which is offered in increments of 16 MB, defines the total size of the content that can be cached by the system. A traffic-heavy site with a large database may need more memory in order to take an even bigger advantage of Memcached, so if you need to upgrade this service, you’ll be able to do it at any given moment with a couple of clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add Memcached to any of the semi-dedicated servers offered by us and use its full potential for any script-driven website hosted by us. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two features – the number of instances and the amount of system memory. These things specify the number of the websites that can use Memcached and how much system memory it will use to store your content. You can select them separately, since a given instance is not tied to a fixed amount of system memory, so you can use lots of memory for one large-sized Internet site, for instance. This feature comes in increments of 16 MB and you can get as much memory as you like. The platform can be used with any script-driven website regardless of its nature, including those based on popular software applications like Joomla™, Drupal™ or WordPress, and a lot of companies such as Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to optimize the overall performance of their websites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can take advantage of the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server that we are offering in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the distributed memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated machine with just several clicks of the mouse. You can optimize the overall performance of any Internet site, regardless of what script-based app you rely on or how large the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 gigabytes and this amount rises immensely with the higher-end servers. Soon after the caching system is activated, it will start caching content each time someone opens your website, so, as soon as enough information has been stored, you will distinguish the reduced load on the server and the enhanced performance of your site. Memcached is used by plenty of websites, among them popular portals such as Zynga, Wikipedia and Reddit, which verifies the effectiveness of the Memcached caching system.
