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 site several times. Any time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content which needs to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with frequently changing content, it's a total waste of processing time and resources for a website which doesn't change, such as an informational portal that shows identical content on a regular basis. Once the pages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a website visitor accesses them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your Internet site will load a lot faster. APC is very effective particularly for scripts with massive source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is available with every single web hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you'll notice the quicker loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. As we offer several versions of PHP that could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP within the same account. Our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned 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

You can use APC for every script application that runs on your new semi-dedicated hosting as the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the account requires one click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you can use the module only for particular Internet sites. This is possible as a result of the flexibility of our cloud platform - several releases of PHP run on it at the same time, so with a php.ini file placed in a website folder, you can choose what version will be used for this specific website and whether APC should be enabled or disabled. Using such a file enables you to use settings that are different from the ones for the account, so you'll be able to take full advantage of APC for a lot of scripts where the module will make a difference and not for others where you could employ a different type of web accelerator.
