APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP sites keep their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content that has to be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. All these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the web server for every single page which is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content, there're numerous websites which present the exact same content on many of their pages at all times - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, and many others. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of websites as it caches the previously compiled code and displays it each 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 boost the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Hosting

You can use APC with each and every hosting plan that we provide as it is already present on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you only a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is really flexible, you'll be able to run Internet sites with various system requirements and decide if they will work with APC or not. For instance, you can allow APC only for one version of PHP or you could do this for several of the releases running on the platform. You can also select if all Internet sites working with a certain PHP version will use APC or whether the latter will be active only for selected Internet sites and not for all Internet sites in the web hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you would like to employ a different web accelerator for several of your websites. These customizations are performed effortlessly via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated server solutions as it's pre-installed on the cloud website 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 from your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our advanced platform will enable you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You can activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based website could work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you will be able to run Internet sites with various requirements in the exact same account.
