Memcached is an application, which is used to cache the results of web applications such as vBulletin, SMF (Simple Machines Forum) and others. By caching the results within memory, the requests for information are served quicker, rather than going to the hard drive to pull the information. Below, we've outlined how to enable memcached on vBulletin and SMF.
How to enable memcached on vBulletin: Enabling memcached on vBulletin is quite easy, simply follow the below mentioned steps and you should have memcached enabled within only a few minutes. Please follow the steps below:

- Login to your cPanel web hosting account via FTP
- Navigate to your vBulletin installation directory
- Then switch directories to the /includes/ folder

$config['Misc']['memcacheserver'][$i] = '127.0.0.1';
$config['Misc']['memcacheport'][$i] = 11211;
$config['Misc']['memcachepersistent'][$i] = true;
