APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP sites keep their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which should be viewed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the web server for each and every page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there're a lot of websites that have the same content on a number of of their webpages all the time - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant sites, and many others. APC is really useful for this type of websites as it caches the already 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 decrease the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, which means that you can use it for your web applications regardless of the web hosting package that you pick when you join us. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel which is used to handle the shared accounts and just several minutes later it'll boost your Internet sites because it'll begin caching their code. If you need to run sites with different system requirements or employ specific web accelerators for any of them, you could customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. Thus, you can enable or disable APC not only for a particular Internet site without affecting the remaining Internet sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP as our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting plans as it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. If you wish to use this module, you will be able to enable it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional in a couple of minutes. As you may need to use other web accelerators for selected websites, our leading-edge platform will enable you to personalize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based website can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function 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 can run Internet sites with various requirements in the same account.
