Memcached is a data caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the app that is using it, which can boost the performance of your site and reduce the produced server load greatly. Every time a page on an application-powered site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should appear on a given web page. If any content is changed, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The platform is an ideal solution for any website that entices numerous visitors, as it will increase its speed and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each shared hosting plan that we are offering and in case you want to use it for any script-based site that you host on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to activate it in a few simple steps through your Hepsia Control Panel. In the meantime, you’ll be given the option to upgrade two separate features – the instances and the system memory. The first one has to do with the number of the websites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one refers to the total amount of memory that the system will be able to use to cache content, so for a lot of websites (or for one single resource-demanding site), you may want to get more memory for improved performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be added at any moment. With Memcached, any script-based website hosted on our servers will load incredibly fast.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available free of charge with all dedicated web hosting plans that we’re offering and the one and only condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the content caching system for any database-powered site, including those that are based on famous web-based apps – for instance, a WordPress weblog or a Joomla™-powered social networking site. Each dedicated machine is tied to a certain amount of system memory that the Memcached caching system can use, but the minimum amount you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to accelerate extremely busy sites substantially, since this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached information. The Memcached system will begin caching data the moment it is activated, so soon thereafter, you’ll detect the optimized performance of your Internet sites and the decreased load. Lots of websites use Memcached to enhance their efficiency, including famous ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
