APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP sites save their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which has to be viewed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. All these actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the server for each page that is loaded. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content, there are many sites which present the exact same content on a number of of their webpages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for such Internet sites since it caches the previously compiled code and displays it every time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled again. Not only will this lower the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any site several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is available with each cloud hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your applications. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you will be able to take advantage of the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. As we offer different releases of PHP which can also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP within the very same account. Our high tech cloud web hosting platform is very adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a selected site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is set up on the state-of-the-art cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are created, so you could employ it whatever the plan you get. Enabling the module is done through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you will not need any skills or earlier experience to take advantage of it. Since you will be able to employ different versions of PHP at the same time, you will be able to modify the software environment for every single website that you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what release of PHP this Internet site will use and if APC needs to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account as a whole, so you could run various scripts and employ various web accelerators for Internet sites that are in the same account.
