APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, which can boost a database-driven site several times. Each time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the site content that should be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is shown to the visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with routinely changing content, it is a waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site which doesn't change, such as an informational portal which shows identical content on a regular basis. When the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them any time a user opens them. Since this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your website will load much faster. APC is really effective especially for scripts with large source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

APC is available with each and every website hosting solution that we offer and you can enable it with only a click from 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'll experience the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we provide different releases of PHP that could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our high tech cloud web hosting platform is very adaptable, so in case you use some other web accelerator for any Internet site and it interferes with APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the latter 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 Servers

You can take full advantage of APC with all our semi-dedicated server plans and activating the framework is done with a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you have no prior experience, you can use it to accelerate your Internet sites. As the cloud hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are created supports multiple PHP releases, you'll have flexibility with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you can use. It will take you just a click to enable APC for one or several PHP releases and by using a php.ini file in the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings which are different from the ones for the account as a whole, you can set what PHP version will be used and whether APC has to be enabled or not. In this way, one Internet site could use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, whereas another one could use some different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
