Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the application that’s using it, which can improve the overall performance of your site and lessen the generated load immensely. Every time a web page on an application-powered Internet site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should be shown on a particular web page. If any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the website visitors will never see out-of-date data. The Memcached platform is an excellent solution for every website that draws a lot of visitors, since it will make it open much faster and will improve the user experience.

Memcached in Website Hosting

If you host script-based websites in a website hosting account with us, you will be able to add the Memcached data caching system to your plan with only a couple of clicks through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the necessary extension is already installed on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order memory as many times as you need. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so if you run a high-demand site with lots of data, you may need more memory in order to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add the Memcached memory caching platform to any of the semi-dedicated servers that we are offering and use its full potential for any script-driven Internet site hosted on our servers. The upgrade is available through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can choose two features – the instances and the amount of memory. These things determine how many sites can use the Memcached platform and the amount of system memory that it will use to store your data. You can select them independently, since one instance is not linked to a particular amount of memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single frequently visited Internet site, for instance. This feature is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you want. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-powered website irrespective of its nature, including those that are based on widespread web-based applications like Joomla, WordPress or Drupal, and lots of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to optimize the overall performance of their sites.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with every dedicated server that we offer if you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can start using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated machine with just a few clicks. You can increase the overall performance of any website, no matter what script-based software application you’re using or how busy the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is three gigabytes and this amount grows significantly with the more powerful dedicated servers. Soon after the system is activated, it will start caching information anytime someone opens your site, so, as soon as sufficient info has been cached, you’ll detect the lowered load on your dedicated server and the optimized overall performance of the website. The Memcached caching system is being used by plenty of websites, among them famous portals like Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which is an evidence of the efficiency of the caching system.
