APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script application, that could speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Any time a PHP page is opened, the script pulls the website content that should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and the result is shown to the visitor. While this is necessary for websites with constantly changing content, it is a total waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site which doesn't change, for example 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 website visitor opens them. As 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 efficient especially for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Web Hosting

APC is available with each and every shared web hosting package that we offer and you could 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 faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we offer several versions of PHP that can also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP within the same account. Our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform is very adaptable, so in case you use some other web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a selected site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is set up on the amazing cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you will be able to employ it regardless of the plan you get. Enabling the module is done through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you won't need any skills or previous experience to take full advantage of it. As you'll be able to work with different versions of PHP at once, you will be able to modify the software environment for each and every website that you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what version of PHP this specific website will use and whether APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account as a whole, so you can run different scripts and take advantage of various web accelerators for Internet sites that are in the same account.
