APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP sites save their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that has to be displayed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the web server for each page which is loaded. While this can't be avoided for sites with regularly changing content material, there're a lot of sites that feature the exact same content on many of their webpages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etcetera. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of sites since it caches the already compiled code and displays it each time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only decrease the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is provided with each shared hosting plan that we offer and you could activate it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you wish to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you will notice the faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. As we offer several versions of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our leading-edge cloud hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned 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 Hosting

APC is set up on the amazing cloud web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are created, so you could use it irrespective of the plan you get. Enabling the module is performed from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you won't need any skills or earlier experience to be able to take advantage of it. Since you'll be able to use different versions of PHP at once, you will be able to customize the software environment for every single Internet site that you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with a few lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what version of PHP this particular site will use and whether APC should be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account as a whole, so you can run different scripts and employ different web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
