APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites store their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which should be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. All these actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the web server for every single page which is loaded. While this can't be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there are many Internet sites which feature the very same content on a number of of their webpages at all times - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant sites, and many others. APC is really useful for this type of Internet sites because it caches the previously compiled code and shows it any time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only minimize the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our advanced cloud platform, which means that you can use it for your applications irrespective of the shared hosting solution that you choose when you join us. The module can be enabled from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is used to handle the shared accounts and only a few minutes later it will speed up your Internet sites as it will begin caching their code. In case you wish to run websites with different system requirements or use specific web accelerators for some of them, you can customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not only for a particular site without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a particular 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 solutions since it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you want to use this module, you will be able to activate it with a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our outstanding platform will permit you to personalize the software environment in your account. You will be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some websites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based Internet site could work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you'll be able to run sites with different requirements from the exact same account.
