APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP sites hold their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which needs to be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. These actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the server for each and every page which is accessed. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with constantly changing content material, there're many websites that offer the same content on a lot of of their webpages at all times - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is quite useful for this kind of sites as it caches the previously compiled code and displays it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only decrease the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

APC is available with each website hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you wish to use it for your web applications. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you will experience the faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we offer several versions of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP in the same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform is extremely flexible, so in case you use an alternative web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you could activate or deactivate the latter for a specific site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can take advantage of APC with all our semi-dedicated server plans and activating the framework is performed with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you lack prior experience, you will be able to use it in order to quicken your sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are made supports multiple PHP releases, you'll have freedom with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you'll be able to use. It will take you only a click to enable APC for one or several PHP releases and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings which are not the same as the ones for the account as a whole, you'll be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC has to be allowed or not. This way, one Internet site can use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, while another one can use some other accelerator and PHP 5.5.
