APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites save their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which needs to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All these actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the web server for every single page that is loaded. While this can't be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there're a lot of Internet sites which offer the very same content on many of their webpages at all times - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is very useful for this type of websites because it caches the previously compiled code and shows it whenever visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

You can use APC with each and every web hosting package that we provide because it's already set up on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. As our platform is quite flexible, you will be able to run websites with various system requirements and decide if they will work with APC or not. For instance, you could activate APC only for a single release of PHP or you could do the latter for several of the versions running on our platform. It's also possible to choose if all websites using a certain PHP version will use APC or whether the latter will be enabled just for selected sites and not for all Internet sites in the web hosting account. The last option is useful if you want to employ a different web accelerator for several of your Internet sites. These customizations are performed effortlessly through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated server packages since it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. If you wish to use this module, you can activate it with just a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a couple of minutes. As you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected websites, our outstanding platform will allow you to customize the software environment inside your account. You will be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some websites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based Internet site could work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can function without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you will be able to run websites with different requirements in the exact same account.
