APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP sites store their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which should be shown is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the website visitor. These actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content, there're many websites that present the exact same content on a lot of of their pages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for such sites since it caches the previously compiled code and displays it every time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only greatly reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is available with each and every cloud hosting solution that we offer and you could activate it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you wish to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you will be able to take advantage of the quicker loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we offer different releases of PHP that can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP inside the same account. Our next generation cloud web hosting platform is extremely flexible, so if you use some other web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a selected site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use APC for each script application that is run on your new semi-dedicated hosting since the module is already installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the account takes a click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, but if needed, you could use the module only for particular sites. This is possible as a result of the versatility of our cloud platform - different releases of PHP run on it simultaneously, so with a php.ini file placed in a site folder, you'll be able to select what release will be used for this particular Internet site and whether APC needs to be enabled or disabled. Employing such a file allows you to use settings which are different from the ones for the account, so you will be able to take advantage of APC for a lot of scripts where the module will make a difference and not for others where you may use some other type of web accelerator.
