APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP sites keep their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content that needs to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All these actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the web server for each and every page which is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there are numerous sites that present the very same content on a lot of of their pages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, and many others. APC is very useful for such websites since it caches the already compiled code and shows it any time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only reduce the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

APC is available with every single website hosting solution that we offer and you could enable it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web apps. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you'll notice the faster loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. As we provide different versions of PHP which can also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP within the same account. Our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely flexible, so if you use a different web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you could activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a specific site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

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