APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites save their content inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content that has to be displayed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and include reading and writing on the web server for each and every page that is opened. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there are a lot of sites that have the exact same content on many of their pages at all times - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etcetera. APC is very useful for such websites because it caches the already compiled code and shows it each time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this lower the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud platform, therefore you will be able to use it for your applications regardless of the hosting package that you pick when you register. The module can be enabled from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to control the shared accounts and only several minutes later it'll boost your Internet sites because it will start caching their program code. If you would like to run sites with various system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for any of them, you'll be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. In this way, you can enable or disable APC not just for a specific site without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP since our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting packages because it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you would like to use this module, you will be able to enable it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational in a few minutes. Since you may want to use other web accelerators for selected sites, our advanced platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based website can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you will be able to run Internet sites with different requirements from the very same account.
