APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content which has to be shown is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All these actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page which is accessed. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there're a lot of websites that feature the exact same content on a lot of of their pages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, and many others. APC is quite useful for this type of Internet sites because 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 repeatedly. This will not only minimize the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use APC with each cloud web hosting package that we provide since it is already set up on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. As our system is extremely flexible, you'll be able to run sites with different system requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For example, you can activate APC only for a single release of PHP or you can do the latter for several of the releases that run on the platform. You can also select if all Internet sites using a particular PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected websites and not for all websites in the web hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you'd like to employ a different web accelerator for several of your Internet sites. These customizations are carried out effortlessly through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting plans as it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you want to use this module, you will be able to activate it with a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a few minutes. As you may need to use other web accelerators for selected sites, our cutting-edge platform will enable you to personalize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some Internet sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site could work without APC using PHP 5.6. What is needed to do that is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you can run Internet sites with different requirements from the very same account.
