APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script application, that can boost a database-driven website several times. Any time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content that should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the site visitor. While this is necessary for sites with regularly changing content, it is a waste of processing time and system resources for a website which doesn't change, such as an informational portal that shows the exact same content all the time. When the pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a user loads them. Since this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the code, the website will load significantly faster. APC is very effective in particular for scripts with massive source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Web Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our advanced cloud platform, so you can use it for your applications irrespective of the shared web hosting package that you pick when you sign up. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to handle the shared accounts and just several minutes later it will speed up your websites because it will start caching their program code. In case you wish to run sites with different system requirements or use different web accelerators for any of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not just for a specific site without affecting the remaining sites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is set up on the amazing cloud hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created, so you'll be able to employ it whatever the plan you select. Enabling the module is done through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you will not need any skills or previous experience in order to take full advantage of it. As you'll be able to use different releases of PHP concurrently, you will 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 Internet site will use and if APC needs 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 employ various web accelerators for Internet sites that are in the same account.
