Memcached is a widespread content caching platform, which can accelerate the speed and the overall performance of your websites significantly if they use an API or a database. This is accomplished by caching the calls to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so when a visitor conducts a search for a specific product on your website, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the entire procedure will be performed notably faster. This is valid for all sorts of database-powered apps and not only for web stores, since every time a given page is visited, the app sends a database query to fetch the data that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also produce much less load. If any data in the database is changed, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors will not see any outdated information.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

Memcached is available as an upgrade with each shared website hosting account offered by our company and in case you’d like to use it for any script-powered website that you host on our avant-garde cloud platform, you’ll be able to add it in a couple of simple steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be given the option to upgrade two different things – the number of instances and the system memory. The first one is related to the number of the Internet sites that can use the Memcached caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several websites, you can get a handful of instances. The second one refers to the maximum amount of memory that Memcached will be allowed to use in order to cache data, so for numerous sites (or for one traffic-consuming site), you should get more memory for better results. The memory is offered in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be ordered at any time. With the Memcached caching system, every script-powered Internet site hosted on our cloud servers will open unbelievably fast.
