How to cache data on server in asp.net mvc 4?

Question

I am working on mvc4 web application. I want to cache some database queries results and views on server side. I used-

HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert() 

but it caches the data on client side. Please help.

I'm using MemoryCache to store query results, and it's working fine so far.
Here are a few links that I've used to implement it.
- Using MemoryCache in .NET 4.0 (codeproject)
- Using MemoryCache in .NET 4.0 (blog entry)

As I read them now, I find them not that clear, so maybe there is a better link that I've lost somewhere.
Here is a sample of my code which I hope is clear enough so that you see how it works

public static class AgencyCacheManager {     private static MemoryCache _cache = MemoryCache.Default;      public static List<RefAgency> ListAgency     {         get         {             if (!_cache.Contains("ListAgency"))                 RefreshListAgency();             return _cache.Get("ListAgency") as List<Agency>;         }     }      public static void RefreshListAgency()     {         var listAgency = GetAllComplete();          CacheItemPolicy cacheItemPolicy = new CacheItemPolicy();         cacheItemPolicy.AbsoluteExpiration = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);          _cache.Add("ListAgency", listAgency, cacheItemPolicy);     } } 

And to retrieve the list from cache

public Agency FindBy(string agencyId) {     return AgencyCacheManager.ListAgency.SingleOrDefault(x => x.AgencyPartnerCode == agencyId); }
