Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately due to its effectiveness. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the application that uses it, which can increase the performance of your site and decrease the produced load significantly. Anytime a page on an app-driven site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then fetches it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a specific page. If any data is edited, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never see old data. The platform is an ideal solution for every site that draws numerous viewers, since it will make it incredibly fast and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Web Hosting

Memcached comes as an upgrade with each and every web hosting plan that we are offering and in case you wish to use it for any script-driven Internet site that you host on our innovative cloud website hosting platform, you’ll be able to activate it in several easy steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In the meantime, you will be given the option to upgrade two different things – the instances and the system memory. The first one refers to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached content caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use in order to cache content, so for numerous websites (or for one frequently visited site), you should get more memory for better results. The memory is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and more memory can be ordered every time you need it. With Memcached, any script-powered site hosted on our servers will load faster than the speed of light.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available free of charge with all dedicated web hosting plans offered by us and the sole requirement is that the dedicated server must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the memory caching system for any database-driven site, including those that are based on widely used software apps – for example, a WordPress blog or a Joomla™-powered community web portal. Each server comes with a given amount of memory that the Memcached caching system can employ, but the minimum amount you’ll get is 3 GB, which is sufficient enough to accelerate the loading speed of very busy sites considerably, as this very memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The Memcached system will start caching data once it’s enabled, so soon thereafter, you’ll notice the enhanced performance of your sites and the reduced load on the dedicated server. Numerous websites use the Memcached system to boost their effectiveness, including popular ones like Wikipedia and Reddit.
