APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP sites store their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content which should be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the web server for each and every page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there're various websites which feature the exact same content on a lot of of their pages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of websites because it caches the previously compiled code and shows it each time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only lower the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You can employ APC for your web apps with any of the cloud web hosting packages that we offer as it is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform. Activating it will take only a single click inside the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared plans and a few minutes later it will begin caching the program code of your applications. Our platform is rather flexible, so you'll be able to use several configurations based on the system requirements of your scripts. For example, you will be able to activate APC for several versions of PHP for the entire account and set the version that each site can use, or you could have the same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC only for specific websites. This is done by placing a php.ini file with a line of code within the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized setup.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting solutions because it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you'd like to use this module, you can activate it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully operational in a couple of minutes. As you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our state-of-the-art platform will permit you to personalize the software environment in your account. You can activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based site can work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can work without APC using PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you will be able to run Internet sites with different requirements inside the exact same account.
