APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP sites keep their content inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content which should be viewed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the hosting server for each and every page that is accessed. While this can't be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there are a lot of sites that present the very same content on a number of of their pages all of the time - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of sites because it caches the already compiled code and displays it each time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this greatly reduce the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any website many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

You'll be able to use APC for your web apps with any of the web hosting plans that we provide since it's pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Enabling it will take just a single click in the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our shared plans and several minutes later it will begin caching the code of your applications. Our platform is very flexible, so you'll be able to use several configurations in accordance with the system requirements of your scripts. For instance, you will be able to activate APC for several releases of PHP for the whole account and pick the version that each website can use, or you can have the exact same version of PHP, but activate or deactivate APC just for specific websites. This is done by placing a php.ini file with a line of code within the domain or subdomain folder where you require the custom configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is set up on the innovative cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are made, so you will be able to use it irrespective of the package you select. Activating the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you will not need any skills or previous experience to take advantage of it. As you will be able to employ different versions of PHP concurrently, you could modify the software environment for every single site that you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with a few lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what release of PHP this Internet site will use and if APC needs to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account in general, so you can run different scripts and employ different web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
