APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites hold their content inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content which has to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the server for each page which is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there're numerous sites which offer the exact same content on many of their webpages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is very useful for this type of Internet sites since it caches the already compiled code and shows it whenever visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not have to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

You can use APC with each shared hosting package that we provide since it is already present on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. As our platform is rather flexible, you can run websites with different requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For example, you can allow APC only for one version of PHP or you can do the latter for several of the releases running on the platform. You can also select if all Internet sites using a given PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected sites and not for all sites in the web hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you would like to employ a different web accelerator for some of your Internet sites. These customizations are performed without difficulty by using a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting plans as it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. If you'd like to use this module, you can enable it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully operational within a couple of minutes. Since you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected websites, our outstanding platform will allow you to personalize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do that is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you'll be able to run websites with various requirements inside the exact same account.
