APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites hold their content within a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content which should be displayed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the site visitor. These actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with regularly changing content material, there are various sites that present the very same content on a lot of of their webpages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of Internet sites as 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 repeatedly. This will not only decrease the server load, but it'll also increase the speed of any Internet site several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, so you can use it for your web applications whatever the shared hosting plan that you choose when you join us. The module can be enabled through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which is used to control the shared accounts and just several minutes later it will boost your websites as it will begin caching their program code. In case you need to run Internet sites with different system requirements or employ different web accelerators for any of them, you could customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not just for a specific website without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP as our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is set up on the amazing cloud web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you will be able to use it irrespective of the package you choose. Activating the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you will not need any skills or prior experience to be able to take advantage of it. Since you will be able to use several releases of PHP simultaneously, you'll be able to customize the software environment for each site that you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what release of PHP this site will use and if APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account in general, so you can run various scripts and take advantage of various web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
