APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP websites store their content inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content that needs to be shown is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for every single page that is loaded. While this can't be avoided for sites with regularly changing content material, there're a lot of websites that have the very same content on a number of of their webpages at all times - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is very useful for such websites as it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not have to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only lower the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website several times.

APC is provided with every single hosting solution that we offer and you could enable it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you'll be able to take advantage of the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. As we provide different releases of PHP which could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform is very flexible, so in case you use some other web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a particular site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting
APC is installed on the state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are created, so you will be able to use it whatever the plan you get. Activating the module is performed from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a click, so you won't need any skills or prior experience to be able to take full advantage of it. Since you will be able to use several releases of PHP at the same time, you will be able to customize the software environment for each website you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with a few lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what version of PHP this specific Internet 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 Internet sites which are in the same account.
