APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites hold their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that needs to be displayed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page which is opened. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there are many Internet sites that offer the exact same content on many of their pages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is very useful for this kind of sites since it caches the already compiled code and shows it when visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only lower the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is provided with each and every shared hosting solution that we offer and you could enable it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your applications. A few minutes later the framework will be working and you will be able to take advantage of the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we offer different releases of PHP which could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP in the same account. Our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a particular site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated server plans as it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you'd like to use this module, you can enable it with a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational within a couple of minutes. Since you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our state-of-the-art platform will permit you to customize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some Internet sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based site could work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site could work without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you can run websites with different requirements inside the exact same account.
