Memcached is a content caching platform, which has been gaining popularity lately due to its effectiveness. It is used to cache queries and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can improve the performance of your website and decrease the generated load tremendously. Anytime a web page on an application-driven website is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a certain webpage. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the site visitors will never see outdated content. Memcached is a perfect solution for every Internet site that attracts numerous visitors, as it will make it open faster and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Web Hosting

The Memcached caching system is offered as an upgrade with each cloud web hosting that we offer and you will be able to start using it the moment you order it, since the PHP extension that it requires in order to function properly is already present on our leading-edge cloud platform. You can request the upgrade via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is available with every web hosting package and a new Control Panel section where you can manage Memcached will appear. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the system memory, so as to offer you more versatility. The first one refers to the number of the sites which can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 16 MB, determines the maximum size of the content that can be cached by the system. A traffic-intensive website with a large database may require more memory in order to take an even greater advantage of Memcached, so if you would like to upgrade this feature, you will be able to do it at any time with a few clicks of the mouse.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

Memcached is available free of charge with all dedicated servers offered by our company and the only condition is that the dedicated machine must be ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You can use the object caching system for any database-driven site, including those that are based on popular applications – for instance, a WordPress personal journal or a Joomla™-powered community portal. Each server comes with a given amount of system memory that Memcached can employ, but the minimum you’ll get is three gigabytes, which is sufficient enough to enhance the loading speed of very heavy sites significantly, since this memory will be dedicated to storing the cached info. The system will begin storing info the moment it is enabled, so shortly after that, you’ll distinguish the improved performance of your Internet sites and the reduced load. Many websites use the Memcached system to boost their efficacy, among them famous ones like Reddit and Wikipedia.
