APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which has to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the web server for each and every page that is accessed. While this can't be avoided for sites with constantly changing content, there're various websites that feature the very same content on a lot of of their webpages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etcetera. APC is quite useful for this kind of websites since it caches the previously compiled code and displays it when visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our state-of-the-art cloud platform, therefore you'll be able to use it for your applications irrespective of the shared website hosting package that you select when you sign up. The module can be enabled from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which is used to maintain the shared accounts and only a few minutes later it'll speed up your Internet sites since it'll begin caching their code. If you need to run websites with various system requirements or employ specific web accelerators for any of them, you can customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the desired domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not only for a particular site without affecting the remaining Internet sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP as 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 solutions because it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. If you would like to use this module, you'll be able to enable it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational within a couple of minutes. As you may need to use some other web accelerators for selected sites, our cutting-edge platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You can activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based website can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you'll be able to run websites with different requirements from the very same account.
