Memcached is a widely used data caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the performance of your Internet sites tremendously if they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so if a user conducts a search for a specific product on your website, for instance, the database won’t have to be accessed to show the results and the entire task will be carried out notably quicker. That goes for all types of database-powered apps and not only for e-shops, since anytime a page is accessed, the application sends a database request to fetch the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open much faster, but it will also create much less server load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors won’t see any outdated information.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

If you host script-driven websites in a cloud website hosting account with our company, you will be able to add the Memcached object caching system to your shared web hosting package with only a couple of clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available immediately and, since the PHP extension needed for it is already installed on our cutting-edge cloud web 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 system memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 megabytes and you can order as much memory as you wish. Naturally, the more memory Memcached is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so if you own a frequently visited website with lots of content, you may need more memory to be able to make the most of the power that Memcached can give you.
