APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which should be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the site visitor. These actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the hosting server for each and every page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there are a lot of websites which offer the exact same content on many of their webpages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is quite useful for this kind of websites because it caches the already compiled code and displays it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this reduce the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

You can employ APC for your web apps with any of the shared hosting plans that we offer because it's pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Enabling it will take only a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our shared solutions and several minutes later it will start caching the code of your apps. Our platform is quite flexible, so you will be able to use several configurations determined by the system requirements of your scripts. For instance, you will be able to activate APC for several releases of PHP for the entire account and select the version that each site will use, or you could have the very same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC just for particular websites. You can do this by placing a php.ini file with a line of program code inside the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated server packages because it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you wish to use this module, you'll be able to activate it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use other web accelerators for selected websites, our leading-edge platform will permit you to customize the software environment in 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 instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can function 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 several lines in it, so you'll be able to run Internet sites with various requirements in the exact same account.
