Memcached is a distributed memory caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years because of its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and replies between a database and the app that uses it, which can increase the overall performance of your site and lessen the produced load immensely. Every time a page on an app-powered site is opened, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be displayed, and then drags it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached all of the content that should be shown on a particular webpage. In case any content is changed, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing old data. Memcached is an excellent choice for every Internet site that lures numerous visitors, as it will make it blazing-fast and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting

You can make use of Memcached with all shared web hosting plans that we’re offering. It is available as an optional upgrade, which you can activate with only a couple of mouse clicks through your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is already installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can begin using the Memcached caching system as soon as you add it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the sites that you would like to use it for. The first one defines the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content the system will be able to cache. You can order more system memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve added, the more content will be cached, which may be an exceptionally good idea for frequently visited sites with large-size databases and many concurrent visitors. Thus, you can optimize the overall performance of any script-driven site hosted on our servers with ease.
