Memcached
What precisely is Memcached? What is the reason for its increasing popularity among users who maintain databases?
Memcached is a caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years because of its efficiency. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that’s using it, which can accelerate the performance of your Internet site and decrease the generated server load greatly. Anytime a page on an app-powered site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a specific webpage. When any content is modified, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the users will never end up seeing old data. The Memcached platform is an excellent option for any website that draws a lot of visitors, since it will make it lightning-fast and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting
When you host script-powered sites in a
shared website hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached caching system to your hosting plan with just a few mouse clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the extension required for it is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can add as much memory as you like. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more data it will cache, so if you have a traffic-hungry website with a lot of data, you may need more memory so as to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can add the Memcached caching platform to any of the
semi-dedicated servers that we are offering and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven Internet site hosted by us. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia Control Panel and you can choose two things – the number of instances and the system memory. These things determine how many sites can use the Memcached platform and how much memory it will use to cache your info. You can choose them separately, since a given instance is not linked to a fixed amount of system memory, so you can use a lot of memory for a single busy website, for instance. This feature comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you wish. The platform can be used with any script-powered site irrespective of its nature, including those based on popular software applications like Joomla
™, Drupal
™ or WordPress, and many companies like Zynga and Wikipedia are already using it to boost the performance of their sites.

Memcached in VPS Servers
You will get Memcached with any of the
VPS server plans that we are offering in case you choose Hepsia as your Control Panel and you’ll be able to activate the memory caching platform via the Control Panel section with the same name. The setup takes a couple of mouse clicks and you’ll notice the difference in the performance of your Internet sites almost instantly. The amount of memory that Memcached can use to cache information depends on the given Virtual Private Server plan that you have chosen, but at any rate it won’t be less than several hundred MB, which is quite enough even for several large-scale sites. You can use Memcached with websites driven by WordPress, Joomla
™ or any other web application and lower the load on your server, which will allow you to continue using the current VPS plan rather than migrating to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it. The Memcached platform is already being used by famous websites such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which verifies its effectiveness.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers
You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with each
dedicated server offered by our company in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the object caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the machine with only several mouse clicks. You can improve the overall performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-based application you’re using or how busy the website is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount increases considerably with the more powerful dedicated servers. Shortly after the caching system is activated, it will start caching data each time someone visits your website, so, once sufficient info has been cached, you’ll detect the reduced load on the dedicated machine and the improved overall performance of the website. The Memcached system is used by a lot of websites, among them popular portals such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Zynga, which confirms the efficiency of the Memcached caching system.
