APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites store their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that should be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. These actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the server for every single page which is opened. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with constantly changing content, there are a lot of sites that offer the exact same content on many of their webpages all the time - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of Internet sites since it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not have to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only minimize the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to use APC for your web applications with all of the cloud web hosting plans that we offer since it's pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform. Turning it on will take just a single click in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared solutions and a couple of minutes later it'll start caching the program code of your software applications. Our platform is quite flexible, so you will be able to use different configurations based on the system requirements of the scripts. For instance, you will be able to activate APC for a couple of versions of PHP for the whole account and choose the version that each Internet site can use, or you could have the same version of PHP, but activate or deactivate APC just for specific sites. This is done by putting a php.ini file with a line of program code in the domain or subdomain folder where you require the custom configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting solutions because it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. If you'd like 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 within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our leading-edge platform will permit you to customize the software environment in your account. You can activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal-based Internet site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you'll be able to run Internet sites with different requirements from the exact same account.
