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. When a PHP page is accessed, the script pulls the content which has to be shown from a database, parses and compiles the code, and then the result is displayed to the site visitor. While this is necessary for websites with frequently changing content, it is a total waste of processing time and system resources for a website which does not change, for example an informational portal that displays the exact same content all the time. When the webpages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a website visitor loads them. As this saves the time to request content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, your Internet site will load significantly quicker. APC is really efficient particularly for scripts with massive source code.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, so you can use it for your applications regardless of the web hosting solution that you pick when you register. The module can be activated through the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel which is used to maintain the shared accounts and just several minutes later it'll speed up your sites since it will start caching their program code. If you want to run Internet sites with various system requirements or employ different web accelerators for some of them, you could customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the desired domain folder. This way, you could enable or disable APC not just for a specific website without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is provided with all semi-dedicated server packages as it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you would like to use this module, you can enable it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a couple of minutes. Since you may need to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our advanced platform will permit you to personalize the software environment in your account. You will be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function without APC using PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the latter is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you could run sites with various requirements inside the very same account.
