What is memcached?

  If you have a database-dependent database or application, and if your database calls tend to slow up the performance, this can be frustrating for the visitors/users of your website or application.

Finding a solution can usually take time but we have the solution ready and waiting for you within the Hepsia Control Panel: Memcached.

Memcached is a simple yet powerful distributed memory object caching system. It works by storing data caches and objects in the server's RAM, where they are more quickly accessible than having to wait for the database to return them, which is usually the case in any regular website. This delay in delivering the information comes from the added time required by the request to travel through the network to reach the database server plus the time said server takes to proces the request and finally, transmit the information back to your website's server.

The Memcached API is available for the majority of modern popular programming languages and this system is used even by some of the most traffic heavy sites such as YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter. It is also supported by some popular CMSs such as Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress.

Memcached is available in our Hepsia Control Panel, in the Advanced drop down menu. With compliments, from our Web Hosting team. Enjoy!
