APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, that can speed up a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP page is opened, the script pulls the site content which should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with constantly changing content, it is a total waste of processing time and resources for a website that does not change, for instance an informational portal which shows identical content on a regular basis. Once the pages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a user loads them. As this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your Internet site will load a lot quicker. APC is very efficient particularly for scripts with large source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

APC is provided with each website hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your web apps. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you will experience the faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. As we offer several versions of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP within the same account. Our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely flexible, so if you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a selected site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting plans as it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. If you want to use this module, you will be able to activate it with a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational in a couple of minutes. Since you may want to use other web accelerators for selected sites, our leading-edge 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 just for some Internet sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based website can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function 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 will be able to run Internet sites with various requirements in the exact same account.
