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 within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that has to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the site visitor. All these actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the web server for every single page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content, there're a lot of websites that have the very same content on many of their webpages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etcetera. APC is very useful for such Internet sites as it caches the previously compiled code and shows it when visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this minimize the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Hosting

APC is available with each hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you will experience the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we offer several releases of PHP which could also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP inside the very same account. Our cutting-edge cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so in case you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you could activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a certain site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is set up on the innovative cloud hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created, so you will be able to use it regardless of the plan you pick. Enabling the module is performed from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you will not need any skills or prior experience to take advantage of it. As you'll be able to work with several releases of PHP simultaneously, you'll be able to customize the software environment for every single Internet site which you host in the account if required. A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will permit you to set what version of PHP this website will use and whether APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account as a whole, so you can run various scripts and take advantage of different web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
