APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content that has to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the visitor. All these actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the server for every single page that is accessed. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with constantly changing content material, there are various websites that offer the exact same content on a number of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etc. APC is very useful for such sites since it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

You can employ APC for your web applications with any of the website hosting plans that we offer as it is pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Activating it will take only a click inside the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with our shared plans and a few minutes later it'll begin caching the program code of your applications. Our platform is rather flexible, so you'll be able to use different configurations determined by the system requirements of your scripts. For example, you could activate APC for a couple of releases of PHP for the entire account and choose the version that each website will use, or you could have the same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC just for specific sites. You can do this by putting a php.ini file with a line of code in the domain or subdomain folder where you need the custom configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated server packages because it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. If you would like to use this module, you'll be able to activate it with a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a couple of minutes. As you may need to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our cutting-edge platform will enable you to customize the software environment in your account. You will be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some Internet sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal-based site can work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you will be able to run websites with various requirements in the very same account.
