APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that needs to be shown is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the site visitor. All these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the server for every single page which is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there are a lot of Internet sites that present the very same content on a number of of their pages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etcetera. APC is extremely useful for such websites since it caches the previously compiled code and displays it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only minimize the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any Internet site several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to use APC for your web applications with all of the shared website hosting plans that we provide since it is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform. Activating it will take only a mouse click in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared solutions and a few minutes later it will begin caching the code of your software apps. Our platform is quite flexible, so you will be able to use different configurations determined by the system requirements of your scripts. For example, you'll be able to activate APC for a couple of versions of PHP for the entire account and pick the version that each website will use, or you can have the exact same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC just for particular websites. This is done by placing a php.ini file with a line of code inside the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is available with all semi-dedicated server solutions as it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you want to use this module, you'll be able to activate it with just 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 websites, our cutting-edge platform will permit you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some websites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based website can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you could run websites with different requirements inside the very same account.
