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 inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which needs to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the server for each page that is opened. While this can't be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there're many websites that offer the very same content on a number of of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of sites because it caches the previously compiled code and displays it any time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. This will not only decrease the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any website several times.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, which means that you'll be able to use it for your web applications irrespective of the shared website hosting solution that you select when you register. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel which is used to maintain the shared accounts and just a few minutes later it will speed up your websites since it'll begin caching their program code. If you need to run Internet sites with various system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for some of them, you'll be able to customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not only for a particular website without affecting the remaining sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP as our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is available with all semi-dedicated server plans because it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. If you want to use this module, you'll be able to activate it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational in a couple of minutes. As you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our outstanding platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You can activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC using PHP 5.6. What is needed to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you'll be able to run Internet sites with different requirements inside the very same account.
