Memcached
Find out what Memcached is and why more and more people try it for their databases.
Memcached is a widely used data caching platform, which can enhance the loading speed and the performance of your Internet sites considerably in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the calls to the database/API and the replies that are returned, so when somebody searches for a certain product on your Internet site, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be performed considerably quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-powered apps and not only for online stores, since anytime a page is opened, the app connects to its database to get the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website load noticeably faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be updated, so the visitors will not see any out-of-date info.

Memcached in Hosting
Memcached is offered as an optional upgrade with each
hosting package offered by our company and in case you wish to use it for any script-driven site that you host on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform, you’ll be able to add it in a few easy steps via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, 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 Internet sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system simultaneously, so if you need it for several sites, you can get a number of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache data, so for lots of websites (or for one traffic-intensive site), you should order more memory for better results. The memory is available in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be added at any time. With the Memcached caching system, each script-driven website hosted on our cloud servers will open amazingly fast.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you decide to host your websites in a
semi-dedicated server account, you’ll be able to take advantage of Memcached effortlessly, since the caching platform’s activation requires several clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel. The PHP extension that it requires is pre-installed on our servers, so you can start using the Memcached platform as soon as you add it to your account. You’ll be able to choose how many sites can use it and how much information can be cached, i.e. there’re two different features that can be upgraded – the number of instances and the system memory. You can add more of both, so if one of your Internet sites becomes extremely busy, for instance, you can always order more memory. Our system is quite flexible in this regard and we don’t bind a specific number of instances to a pre-defined amount of memory. You can take advantage of Memcached to boost the speed of any script-powered site, including those based on widely used web applications, such as WordPress or Joomla
™.

™ or any other Internet application and decrease the load on your virtual server, which will enable you to keep using the current Virtual Private Server plan instead of migrating to a more powerful one, as you will simply not need it.
