Memcached is a distributed memory object caching platform, which has been gaining popularity in recent years owing to its efficiency. It’s used to cache requests and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced load immensely. Anytime a webpage on an application-powered site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should appear on a particular web page. If any content is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing outdated content. The platform is an ideal option for any site that attracts a lot of viewers, as it will make it extremely fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

You can take advantage of the Memcached memory caching system with all Linux shared web hosting packages that we are offering. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can add with only a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, so you can begin using Memcached as soon as you add it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will give you more freedom depending on the Internet sites that you would like to use it for. The first part defines the number of the Internet sites that will use Memcached, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one is related to the memory, i.e. to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can add more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve ordered, the more data will be cached, which may be a really good idea for high-demand websites with large-sized databases and plenty of visitors. Thus, you can boost the loading speed of any script-powered site hosted on our servers effortlessly.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

Memcached is available free of charge with all Linux dedicated servers hosting packages offered by our company and the sole requirement is that the server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the distributed memory caching system for any database-powered site, including those based on popular web applications – for example, a WordPress online diary or a Joomla™-powered social networking website. Each dedicated server comes with a certain amount of memory that the Memcached system can employ, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is quite enough to increase the loading speed of very busy sites substantially, as this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached data. The Memcached system will begin storing information the moment it is enabled, so soon thereafter, you’ll detect the enhanced performance of your websites and the lowered load on your dedicated server. A lot of sites use the Memcached caching system to improve their efficacy, among them famous ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
