Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system, which has been gaining popularity lately because of its efficiency. It’s used to cache queries and responses between a database and the app that is using it, which can accelerate the overall performance of your website and reduce the generated server load considerably. Every time a webpage on an application-driven website is visited, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are skipped, since the platform has already cached all the content that should be displayed on a certain web page. In case any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ too, so the visitors will never end up seeing outdated data. The platform is an excellent solution for every site that has plenty of visitors, as it will make it load much faster and will improve the overall user experience.
Memcached in Shared Website Hosting
When you host script-based websites in a shared website hosting account with us, you will be able to add the Memcached data caching system to your shared web hosting package with only a couple of mouse clicks via your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The upgrade will be available momentarily and, since the needed extension is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform, you can start using it straight away. To give you more versatility, we offer two separate upgrades related to the number of instances (in other words – how many sites will use Memcached) and to the system memory that Memcached will use. The latter is available in increments of 16 MB and you can order as much memory as you need. Naturally, the more memory the Memcached caching system is allowed to use, the more content it will cache, so in case you manage a larger website with lots of content, you may require more memory in order to be able to make full use of the power that Memcached can offer you.
