Memcached is a widely used caching platform, which can boost the loading speed and the overall performance of your sites immensely in case they use a database or an API. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so when someone searches for a certain product on your website, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire procedure will be completed notably faster. That goes for all kinds of database-driven apps and not only for shopping portals, since anytime a given web page is accessed, the application connects to its database to get the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your site open considerably faster, but it will also produce much less server load. If any data in the database is updated, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the site visitors won’t see any out-of-date info.

Memcached in Website Hosting

If you host script-powered websites in a website hosting account with our company, you can add the Memcached object caching system to your plan with only a couple of clicks from your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantaneously and, since the necessary extension is pre-installed on our innovative cloud hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more versatility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many websites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that Memcached will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order memory as many times as you wish. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more data it will cache, so in case you own a larger website with lots of content, you may need more memory to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
