APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, which could boost a database-driven site several times. Any time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the website content which should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for sites with routinely changing content, it is a waste of processing time and system resources for a site which does not change, such as an informational portal that displays the same content at all times. Once the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a user accesses them. Since this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your Internet site will load significantly quicker. APC is really efficient particularly for scripts with massive source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

APC is available with each and every website hosting package that we offer and you can activate it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your web apps. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you will notice the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we offer different versions of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP within the same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you could activate or deactivate the latter for a specific site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can use APC with all of our semi-dedicated server plans and activating the framework is performed with a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you don't have any previous experience, you'll be able to use it in order to boost your websites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are created is compatible with multiple PHP releases, you will have flexibility with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you can use. It will take you only a click to activate APC for one or a couple of PHP versions and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account in general, you will be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. This way, one Internet site may use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, and another one could use another accelerator and PHP 5.5.
