For my new uses, I think Redis will be easier. Redis allows a hash type, so that I can purge the entire cache for a top level domain. And since I host multiple websites on the same server and store those sites' content in the same Redis server, it's easier to remove the cache for one site within Redis.

Within Memcached, I could store key-value data like this:
birdbrainsbrewing.com-1 "html content for page id 1"
birdbrainsbrewing.com-5 "html content for page id 5"
maketoledo.com-1 "html content for page id 1"

But I cannot determine how to remove all the keys for one domain. For Redis, I delete the hash birdbrainsbrewing.com and all those cache pages are removed.

At the moment, it seems that I can only delete one key at a time for Memcached. A flush_all command will remove the entire cache. That's fine if I only hosted one site within Memcached.

For Memcached, I would need to run a version or instance of server for each site that's hosted on the same Linux server, and then specify the port number within my Grebe YAML config file.  If this is possible to do.

Then key-value would be simply:
1 'html for page id 1'
2 'html for page id 2'
