Memcached is a widespread distributed memory object caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the overall performance of your Internet sites significantly in case they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the API/database and the responses that are delivered, so when a user searches for a specific product on your website, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to return the results and the whole operation will be completed significantly quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-driven applications and not only for online shops, as anytime a particular page is opened, the app connects to its database to get the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load significantly faster, but it will also create much less load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors will not see any outdated info.

Memcached in Web Hosting

When you host script-powered sites in a web hosting account with our company, you can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching system to your web hosting plan with just a few mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available immediately and, since the PHP extension needed for it is already installed on our advanced cloud web hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you want. Logically, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you manage a resource-consuming site with a lot of data, you may require more memory to be able to take advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.
