APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content inside a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content that needs to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the server for every single page that is opened. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content, there are a lot of websites that feature the exact same content on a number of of their pages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is really useful for this kind of websites since it caches the already compiled code and shows it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only greatly reduce the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any website several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

APC is provided with each shared website hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you will experience the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we offer several releases of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP within the very same account. Our next generation cloud hosting platform is extremely flexible, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a particular site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.
