APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script application, that can boost a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content which has to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for sites with regularly changing content, it's a waste of processing time and resources for an Internet site which doesn't change, such as an informational portal that displays the exact same content at all times. When the webpages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a visitor opens them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your website will load considerably quicker. APC is very efficient especially for scripts with massive source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our outstanding cloud platform, so you can use it for your web applications whatever the shared website hosting plan that you choose when you join us. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to take care of the shared accounts and only several minutes later it'll speed up your websites since it'll begin caching their code. In case you would like to run sites with various system requirements or employ specific web accelerators for any of them, you could customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder. This way, you can enable or disable APC not just for a particular Internet site without affecting the other sites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP since our platform supports multiple versions at the same time.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use APC for every single script application that is run on your new semi-dedicated hosting because the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be created. Activating or deactivating APC for the account takes a single click from the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you could use the module just for specific sites. This is possible because of the versatility of our cloud platform - multiple versions of PHP run on it simultaneously, so with a php.ini file placed in a website folder, you will be able to choose what release will be used for this particular Internet site and whether APC should be enabled or disabled. Employing such a file enables you to use settings that are different from the ones for the account, so you could take advantage of APC for many scripts where the module makes a difference and not for others where you can use a different kind of web accelerator.
