APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content within a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that has to be viewed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. These actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page that is loaded. While this can't be avoided for websites with regularly changing content material, there're numerous sites that offer the exact same content on a lot of of their pages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etc. APC is very useful for such websites as it caches the already compiled code and displays it any time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this lower the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Web Hosting

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

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take advantage of APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating this framework is done with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you don't have any previous experience, you could use it to boost your websites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are created is compatible with multiple PHP releases, you will have freedom with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you can employ. It will take you only a click to enable APC for one or several PHP versions and by using a php.ini file in the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account as a whole, you will be able to set what PHP version will be used and whether APC should be allowed or not. In this way, one website may use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, whereas another one can use another accelerator and PHP 5.5.
