Memcached is a distributed memory caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity lately thanks to its efficiency. It is used to cache requests and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can enhance the overall performance of your Internet site and reduce the produced server load drastically. Anytime a page on an application-driven site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, as the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a particular page. When any content is edited, the Memcached content is updated as well, so the website visitors will never end up seeing old data. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for every website that entices a lot of viewers, since it will boost its speed and will enhance the user experience.

Memcached in Cloud Website Hosting

When you host script-based websites in a cloud website hosting account with us, you can add the Memcached caching system to your shared hosting plan with just a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available instantly and, since the needed PHP extension is pre-installed on our avant-garde cloud hosting platform, you can begin using it straight away. To give you more flexibility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (i.e. how many sites will use Memcached) and to the amount of memory that the Memcached caching system will use. The latter comes in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you want. Logically, the more memory the Memcached caching system is permitted to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you manage a traffic-intensive site with lots of content, you may require more memory to be able to take full advantage of the power that Memcached can offer you.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we’re offering if you pick Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special section in it is dedicated to the distributed memory object caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated machine with just a few mouse clicks. You can boost the performance of any Internet site, irrespective of what script-powered web application you are using or how heavy the website is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is three gigabytes and this amount grows immensely with the more powerful dedicated servers. Shortly after the caching system is activated, it will start caching information each time someone accesses your site, so, once enough information has been cached, you will perceive the reduced load on the server and the enhanced performance of your Internet site. The Memcached system is used by lots of sites, among them popular portals such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Zynga, which confirms the effectiveness of the caching system.
