APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, that could speed up a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the site content that has to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is shown to the visitor. While this is necessary for Internet sites with constantly changing content, it's a complete waste of processing time and system resources for a site that does not change, like an informational portal that shows the same content at all times. When the web pages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a user accesses them. Since this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your website will load significantly quicker. APC is really effective particularly for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

You can use APC with each shared website hosting plan that we offer because it is already set up on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. As our system is quite flexible, you can run Internet sites with different requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For instance, you can allow APC only for one version of PHP or you can do this for several of the releases running on the platform. You can also select if all Internet sites working with a particular PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected websites and not for all Internet sites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you wish to employ a different web accelerator for several of your Internet sites. These customizations are carried out without any difficulty via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take advantage of APC with our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating this framework is done with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you don't have any prior experience, you'll be able to use it in order to quicken your Internet sites. As the cloud hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are made is compatible with multiple PHP versions, you will have flexibility with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you will be able to use. It will take you just a click to activate APC for one or a couple of PHP versions and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings which are not the same as the ones for the account in general, you could set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. This way, one site may use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, and another one may use some different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
