APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content that needs to be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for each page which is accessed. While this can't be avoided for websites with constantly changing content, there are a lot of websites that have the exact same content on a lot of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of Internet sites because it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only minimize the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any website several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is available with each web hosting plan that we offer and you can enable it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your web apps. Several minutes later the framework will be working and you'll experience the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we offer several releases of PHP that could also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our high tech cloud Internet hosting platform is very flexible, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you could activate or deactivate the latter for a specific site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating the framework is performed with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you have no prior experience, you'll be able to use it to speed up your sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are made supports multiple PHP versions, you'll have flexibility with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you can use. It will take you only a click to allow APC for one or several PHP versions and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account as a whole, you can set what PHP version will be used and whether APC needs to be enabled or not. In this way, one site could use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, whereas another one could use some other accelerator and PHP 5.5.
