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 inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that should be displayed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All these actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the web server for each page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with regularly changing content material, there are various Internet sites which present the same content on a number of of their webpages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of sites as it caches the previously compiled code and shows it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this greatly reduce the server load, but it'll also increase the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Web Hosting

You can use APC with each shared web hosting package that we offer because it is already present on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. As our system is quite flexible, you will be able to run sites with different requirements and decide whether they will use APC or not. For example, you can enable APC only for one version of PHP or you could do this for several of the releases running on our platform. It's also possible to decide if all sites using a certain PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled just for selected Internet sites and not for all sites in the web hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you'd like to employ a different web accelerator for some of your Internet sites. These customizations are carried out without difficulty via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use APC with our semi-dedicated hosting packages and activating this framework is performed with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you have no prior experience, you can use it to quicken your sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are set up supports multiple PHP releases, you'll have freedom regarding the scripts and web accelerators you can employ. It will take you only a click to enable 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 not the same as the ones for the account in general, you will be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC needs to be enabled or not. This way, one website may use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, while another one can use some other accelerator and PHP 5.5.
