APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites save their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content that has to 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 include reading and writing on the web server for each page which is accessed. While this can't be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there are numerous Internet sites which have the very same content on many of their webpages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is quite useful for such websites as it caches the previously compiled code and shows it each time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. This will not only reduce the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is available with each and every shared hosting plan that we offer and you can enable it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your applications. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you will experience the quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we provide different releases of PHP that can also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP inside the very same account. Our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform is extremely flexible, so if you use some other web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a certain site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take full advantage of APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating the framework is done with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you have no prior experience, you can use it to boost your Internet sites. As the cloud hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are made supports multiple PHP releases, you will have freedom regarding the scripts and web accelerators you could use. It will take you just a click to activate APC for one or a couple of PHP releases and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are different from the ones for the account as a whole, you'll be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. In this way, one Internet site could use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, whereas another one could use another accelerator and PHP 5.5.
