APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script application, which could speed up a database-driven Internet site several times. Each time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content that has to be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the code, then the result is displayed to the website visitor. While this is necessary for websites with routinely changing content, it's a complete waste of processing time and resources for a site which doesn't change, for instance an informational portal that displays the same content all the time. When the web pages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them every time a visitor accesses them. As this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your Internet site will load much quicker. APC is really effective especially for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is provided with every single shared hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you will experience the quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we provide several releases of PHP that can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP within the very same account. Our next generation cloud Internet hosting platform is very flexible, so if you use another web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a selected site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting solutions as it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you'd like to use this module, you will be able to activate it with just a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional within a couple of minutes. Since you may want to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our state-of-the-art platform will enable you to customize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some Internet sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site could work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site could work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you will be able to run websites with different requirements from the exact same account.
