APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content within a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content that needs to be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's 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 which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with regularly changing content material, there're numerous websites which offer the same content on many of their webpages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, and many others. APC is extremely useful for this kind of websites since it caches the previously compiled code and shows it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. This will not only greatly reduce the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any website many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud platform, therefore you will be able to use it for your applications irrespective of the shared hosting solution that you choose when you join us. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel that is used to control the shared accounts and only a couple of minutes later it will speed up your sites because it will begin caching their code. In case you need to run sites with various system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for any of them, you can customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. Thus, you could enable or disable APC not only for a specific website without affecting the remaining Internet sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is installed on the innovative cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are created, so you'll be able to use it irrespective of the package 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 advantage of it. Since you will be able to use different releases of PHP concurrently, you could customize the software environment for every single site that you host in the account if required. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what version of PHP this particular 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 in general, so you could run various scripts and use various web accelerators for sites that are in the same account.
