Memcached

What exactly is Memcached? What is the reason for its rising popularity among users who maintain databases?

Memcached is a memory caching system, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It is used to cache queries and replies between a database and the application that is using it, which can increase the overall performance of your site and decrease the created server load immensely. Anytime a webpage on an app-driven site is visited, the application connects to the database and "asks" what info should be shown, and then extracts it. With Memcached, these procedures are omitted, since the platform has already cached the content that should be displayed on a specific webpage. When any content is modified, the Memcached content is ‘refreshed’ as well, so the site visitors will never end up seeing out-of-date content. Memcached is a perfect solution for every Internet site that has a lot of visitors, since it will boost its loading speed and will enhance the overall user experience.

Memcached in Dedicated Hosting

You can unlock the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we offer in case you pick Hepsia as your Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any site hosted on the dedicated server with only a couple of clicks. You can enhance the overall performance of any site, regardless of what script-driven web application you are using or how popular the Internet site is, as the minimum amount of system memory that Memcached will be able to use is three gigabytes and this amount rises tremendously with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is activated, it will begin caching data each time someone visits your site, so, as soon as sufficient content has been cached, you’ll notice the reduced load on your dedicated machine and the optimized overall performance of the Internet site. The Memcached caching system is used by plenty of sites, among them famous portals such as Wikipedia, Zynga and Reddit, which confirms the efficiency of the caching system.
