APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP websites save their content within a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which needs to be displayed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. These actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for each and every page that is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for websites with regularly changing content material, there are various Internet sites that have the same content on a lot of of their webpages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etcetera. APC is very useful for such sites as it caches the previously compiled code and shows it any time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only lower the server load, but it'll also increase the speed of any website a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

You can use APC with each and every shared hosting package that we provide because it is already set up on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is quite flexible, you will be able to run Internet sites with various system requirements and decide if they will use APC or not. For example, you can allow APC only for a single version of PHP or you could do the latter for several of the versions running on our platform. You can also decide if all Internet sites working with a certain PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected websites and not for all Internet sites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you would like to employ a different web accelerator for some of your sites. These customizations are carried out without any difficulty through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is available with all semi-dedicated server solutions as it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. If you would like to use this module, you will be able to enable it with 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 alternative web accelerators for selected sites, our outstanding platform will permit you to customize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some Internet sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based site could work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you could run websites with various requirements from the same account.
