Memcached is a widespread caching platform, which can improve the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites significantly in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are delivered, so when a client searches for some product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to return the results and the whole task will be executed noticeably faster. This is valid for all kinds of database-driven applications and not only for online stores, as every time a given web page is visited, the app sends a query to its database to fetch the content that should be displayed. With Memcached, not only will your website open noticeably faster, but it will also generate much less server load. If any content in the database is edited, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors won’t see any outdated information.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can make use of Memcached with all cloud hosting that we are offering. It’s offered as an upgrade, which you can get with only a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud platform, so you can start using Memcached once you add it. The upgrade is separated into two parts, which will offer you more flexibility depending on the sites that you would like to use it for. The first one reveals the number of the Internet sites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the so-called ‘instances’, whereas the second one refers to the system 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 have added, the more content will be cached, which may be a rather good idea for popular websites with large databases and many users. Thus, you can increase the performance of any script-powered Internet site hosted on our servers without any effort.
