APC, which is an acronym for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, that can speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. When a PHP web page is accessed, the script pulls the content that has to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the program code, then the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for websites with routinely changing content, it is a waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site which doesn't change, for example an informational portal that displays identical content at all times. Once the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a visitor accesses them. As this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, the website will load a lot faster. APC is very effective particularly for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is available with each and every shared hosting package that we offer and you can activate it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you'll be able to take advantage of the faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we offer several releases of PHP that could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP within the very same account. Our leading-edge cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use some other web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a certain 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 provided with all semi-dedicated hosting packages because it is pre-installed on the cloud 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 will be fully operational within a few minutes. Since you may want to use alternative web accelerators for selected sites, our leading-edge platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can function with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the latter is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you will be able to run Internet sites with different requirements from the exact same account.
