APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, that can boost a database-driven website several times. Any time a PHP web page is accessed, the script pulls the website content which has to be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is displayed to the visitor. While this is necessary for sites with frequently changing content, it's a total waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site that does not change, for example an informational portal which displays identical content on a regular basis. When the pages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a visitor loads them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the code, the Internet site will load considerably faster. APC is really helpful particularly for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, so you can use it for your applications whatever the cloud website hosting plan that you select when you register. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which is used to handle the shared accounts and just several minutes later it'll speed up your Internet sites as it'll start caching their program code. If you would like to run sites with different system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for any of them, you can customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file inside the desired domain folder. Thus, you could enable or disable APC not only for a particular website without affecting the remaining Internet sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is set up on the amazing cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created, so you'll be able to employ it irrespective of the package you pick. Enabling the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a click, so you will not need any skills or prior experience to take full advantage of it. As you'll be able to work with several versions of PHP concurrently, you could modify the software environment for each and every website that you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what version of PHP this site will use and if APC needs to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account in general, so you could run various scripts and use different web accelerators for Internet sites that are in the same account.
