Memcached
Find out what Memcached is and why lots of people use it for their databases.
Memcached is a widely used memory caching system, which can enhance the loading speed and the overall performance of your websites considerably if they use a database or an API. This is accomplished by caching the requests to the database/API and the responses that are returned, so when a visitor searches for a certain product on your website, for example, the database won’t have to be accessed to display the results and the entire operation will be performed considerably quicker. That goes for all kinds of database-powered apps and not only for e-shops, since anytime a given web page is accessed, the app sends a database request to fetch the content that should be shown. With Memcached, not only will your site load considerably faster, but it will also create much less load. If any content in the database is updated, the cached replies will also be updated, so the site visitors will not see any old information.

Memcached in Shared Web Hosting
Memcached comes as an upgrade with each and every
shared web hosting account offered by our company and in case you wish to use it for any script-driven website that you host on our innovative cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to activate it in several easy steps through your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. During the process, you’ll be offered 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 sites that can use the Memcached distributed memory object caching system at the same time, so if you need it for several Internet sites, you can order a handful of instances. The second one has to do with the maximum amount of memory that the system will be allowed to use to cache content, so for multiple websites (or for one single busy site), you’d better get more memory for better performance. The memory is offered in increments of 16 MB and more memory can be added at any moment. With the Memcached caching system, each script-driven site hosted on our cloud servers will load lightning-fast.

semi-dedicated hosting services and since it works with any script-based software application, you can use it for any site that you host on our semi-dedicated servers, no matter what application you have used – Mambo, Joomla
™ or WordPress, a custom-developed application, etc. You can add the upgrade through the corresponding section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel from which you administer your semi-dedicated server account, and you can choose two different features – the instances and the amount of memory that they will use.

The two things are offered separately for more freedom and one instance does not come bundled with a particular amount of system memory.
