APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites save their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which needs to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page that is opened. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with constantly changing content, there are a lot of Internet sites which feature the same content on a lot of of their webpages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is really useful for this type of websites as it caches the already compiled code and displays it whenever visitors browse the cached pages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only minimize the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our state-of-the-art cloud platform, therefore you will be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the cloud hosting solution that you choose when you join us. The module can be activated from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which is used to maintain the shared accounts and only a couple of minutes later it'll boost your sites because it will start caching their program code. In case you wish to run sites with various system requirements or take advantage of specific web accelerators for any of them, you could customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder. In this way, you could enable or disable APC not just for a particular site without affecting the other websites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP because our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is set up on the amazing cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are made, so you will be able to employ it regardless of the package you choose. Enabling the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you won't need any skills or prior experience to take full advantage of it. Since you'll be able to employ several releases 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 permit you to set what release of PHP this specific site will use and if APC should be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account as a whole, so you could run different scripts and use different web accelerators for sites that are in the same account.
