APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites hold their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which should be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. These actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there're a lot of Internet sites that offer the exact same content on a number of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, and many others. APC is very useful for this type of Internet sites since it caches the already compiled code and shows it whenever visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any site several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Web Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, which means that you will be able to use it for your applications whatever the shared web hosting solution that you select when you join us. The module can be activated from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is used to manage the shared accounts and only a couple of minutes later it will speed up your websites since it'll start caching their code. If you would like to run websites with different system requirements or employ different web accelerators for any of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the desired domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not only for a certain site without affecting the remaining Internet sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP because our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is available with all semi-dedicated server plans since it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. If you would like to use this module, you can activate it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully operational within a few minutes. Since you may need to use other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our leading-edge platform will allow you to customize the software environment inside your account. You will be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site could work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you could run websites with different requirements in the very same account.
