APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script app, which could speed up a database-driven site several times. When a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the content that should be shown from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and then 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 system resources for a website which does not change, such as an informational portal that displays the exact same content all the time. When the webpages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a user accesses them. Since this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your Internet site will load significantly faster. APC is very efficient particularly for scripts with larger source code.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our outstanding cloud platform, which means that you'll be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the cloud hosting package that you choose when you sign up. The module can be enabled through the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel which is used to take care of the shared accounts and only a couple of minutes later it will speed up your websites as it'll start caching their code. In case you need to run Internet sites with various system requirements or take advantage of specific web accelerators for any of them, you'll be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. In this way, you can enable or disable APC not just for a specific site without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a certain version of PHP since our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting
APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting plans because it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you wish to use this module, you can enable it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional within a couple of minutes. Since you may need to use other web accelerators for selected websites, our leading-edge platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based website could work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you can run sites with various requirements inside the very same account.
