APC, which is short for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, which can speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Any time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the site content that should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the site visitor. While this is necessary for websites with regularly changing content, it is a waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site which doesn't change, like an informational portal which displays the exact same content on a regular basis. When the webpages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a website visitor loads them. As this saves the time to request content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your website will load considerably faster. APC is really helpful particularly for scripts with massive source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

APC is provided with each shared website hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you'll experience the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. As we offer different versions of PHP which could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our next generation cloud web hosting platform is very adaptable, so if you use some other web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a certain 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 set up on the state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are created, so you could use it regardless of the plan you get. Activating the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you won't need any skills or earlier experience to be able to take full advantage of it. As you will be able to work with different versions of PHP at once, you will be able to modify the software environment for each and every 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 permit you to set what version of PHP this website will use and whether APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account in general, so you could run various scripts and take advantage of various web accelerators for websites that are in the same account.
