Memcached
What exactly is Memcached? What is the reason for its rising recognition among people who take care of databases?
Memcached is an object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache calls and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can enhance the performance of your site and lessen the created server load substantially. Anytime a web page on an application-driven Internet site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be shown on a particular web page. When any content is updated, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing outdated data. Memcached is an ideal option for any Internet site that lures lots of viewers, as it will make it faster than the speed of light and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting
The Memcached distributed memory object caching system is offered as an upgrade with each
Linux cloud website hosting package offered by us and you will be able to start using it as soon as you add it, since the extension that it requires in order to perform correctly is already available on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. You can order the upgrade via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is available with each and every plan and a new section where you can manage Memcached will appear. The upgrade is divided into two parts – the instances and the system memory, so as to offer you more flexibility. The first one refers to the number of the sites that can use the Memcached caching system, whereas the second, which is available in increments of 16 MB, determines the total size of the content that can be cached by the system. A busy website with a large-sized database may need more memory to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so if you need to upgrade this feature, you’ll be able to do it at any time with a couple of clicks.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can get the Memcached distributed memory object caching system as an upgrade with each of our
Linux semi-dedicated packages and since it works with any script-powered web app, you can use it for every website that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, regardless of what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla
™ or WordPress, a custom-built app, etc. You can order the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated account, and you can select two separate features – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use. To put it simply, these things define how many websites will use Memcached and the amount of memory that the system will be able to use to store your data. The two things are ordered separately for more flexibility and one instance does not come with a particular amount of memory. You can make the most of Memcached with any type of website and both you and your website visitors will swiftly spot the difference in the overall performance.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting
You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with every
dedicated server that we offer if you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A section in it is dedicated to the caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated server with just several clicks. You can optimize the overall performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-driven application you’re using or how busy the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to employ is 3 GB and this amount increases tremendously with the higher-end servers. Soon after the system is activated, it will start caching info each time somebody browses your website, so, as soon as sufficient info has been cached, you’ll detect the lowered load on your server and the optimized performance of your site. The Memcached caching system is being used by many sites, among them famous portals such as Reddit, Wikipedia and Zynga, which verifies the efficiency of the caching system.
