Memcached is a content caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately owing to its effectiveness. It’s used to cache requests and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can improve the overall performance of your site and decrease the produced load immensely. Every time a web page on an app-driven site is accessed, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then drags it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should show up on a specific web page. If any content is edited, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the website visitors will never end up seeing outdated content. Memcached is an ideal solution for any site that lures a lot of viewers, since it will make it faster than the speed of sound and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

When you host script-powered websites in a cloud hosting account with us, you’ll be able to add the Memcached caching system to your plan with just a couple of clicks of the mouse via your Hepsia Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the PHP extension required for it is already installed on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you can begin using it right away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two different upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter is offered in increments of 16 MB and you can add memory whenever you like. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so if you own a large-size site with lots of data, you may need more memory to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can give you.
