APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, which could speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Each time a PHP page is opened, the script pulls the content that has to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the program code, then the result is displayed to the site visitor. While this is necessary for sites with frequently changing content, it's a waste of processing time and resources for a site which doesn't change, like an informational portal that shows the exact same content on a regular basis. As soon as the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a website visitor accesses them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your website will load significantly quicker. APC is really helpful especially for scripts with massive source code.

APC is available with each shared hosting solution that we offer and you could activate it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you'll experience the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. As we offer different versions of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you'll be able to 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 Hosting

APC is installed on the state-of-the-art cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are made, so you'll be able to use it whatever the package you choose. Activating the module is done from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a mouse click, so you will not need any skills or earlier experience to be able to take full advantage of it. As you will be able to use several releases of PHP at the same time, you could customize the software environment for every single website that you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will permit you to set what version of PHP this Internet site will use and whether APC should be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account as a whole, so you can run various scripts and take advantage of various web accelerators for Internet sites that are in the same account.
