APC, which is an acronym for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, which could boost a database-driven website several times. When a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content which should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and the result is displayed to the website visitor. While this is necessary for sites with frequently changing content, it's a total waste of processing time and resources for a website that doesn't change, for example an informational portal which displays the exact same content all the time. When the web pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a website visitor opens them. As this saves the time to request content from the database and to parse and compile the code, the Internet site will load much faster. APC is really efficient especially for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use APC with each and every cloud web hosting package that we provide as it's already present on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is extremely flexible, you will be able to run Internet sites with different requirements and decide if they will work with APC or not. For example, you could enable APC only for one release of PHP or you can do the latter for several of the versions running on the platform. In addition, you can choose if all sites working with a specific PHP version will use APC or whether the latter will be enabled just for selected websites and not for all websites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you want to employ a different web accelerator for several of your websites. These customizations are performed without difficulty through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting packages because it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you would like to use this module, you'll be able to activate it with a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional in a couple of minutes. Since you may need to use some other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our cutting-edge platform will allow you to customize the software environment inside your account. You will be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal-based site could work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you will be able to run Internet sites with various requirements inside the very same account.
