Memcached is a widely used caching system, which can improve the loading speed and the performance of your sites drastically in case they use an API or a database. This is achieved by caching the requests to the database/API and the replies that are delivered, so if a client searches for a given product on your site, for example, the database will not have to be accessed to show the results and the whole task will be performed noticeably faster. This goes for all sorts of database-driven apps and not only for web shops, since every time a given web page is visited, the app connects to its database to fetch the data that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your website load significantly faster, but it will also create much less load. If any data in the database is modified, the cached responses will also be ‘refreshed’, so the visitors won’t see any outdated info.

Memcached in Cloud Hosting

You can use the Memcached caching system with all Linux cloud hosting offered by our company. It’s available as an optional upgrade, which you can order with only a few clicks of the mouse from your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It needs an extension, which is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform, so you can start using the Memcached caching system once you order it. The upgrade is divided into two parts, which will give you more flexibility depending on the Internet sites that you want to use it for. The first one reveals the number of the websites that will use the Memcached caching system, or the ‘instances’, while the second one refers to the system memory, in other words – to how much content Memcached will be able to cache. You can add more system memory in increments of 16 megabytes and the more memory you have ordered, the more content will be cached, which may be a quite good idea for high-demand sites with very large databases and a lot of users. Thus, you can supercharge the overall performance of any script-based Internet site hosted on our servers effortlessly.
