Memcached is a distributed memory object caching platform, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It’s used to cache calls and responses between a database and the application that’s using it, which can accelerate the performance of your site and reduce the created load tremendously. Anytime a webpage on an app-powered Internet site is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what info should be displayed, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, since the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a given webpage. If any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date data. The Memcached platform is an ideal choice for every website that attracts lots of viewers, since it will make it load faster and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Hosting

You can make use of the Memcached content caching system with all shared hosting offered by us. It’s available as an optional upgrade, which you can order with only a couple of clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It needs a PHP extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform, so you can start using Memcached the moment you order it. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the Internet sites that you’d like to use it for. The first one specifies the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the memory, i.e. to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more memory in increments of 16 MB and the more memory you’ve got, the more content will be cached, which may be a very good idea for regularly visited websites with large-size databases and a lot of visitors. Thus, you can supercharge the speed of every script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers effortlessly.
