APC, which means Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a script application, which can boost a database-driven Internet site several times. Every time a PHP webpage is opened, the script pulls the website content that should be displayed from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and the result is shown to the website visitor. While this is necessary for sites with frequently changing content, it is a total waste of processing time and system resources for an Internet site which doesn't change, like an informational portal that displays the very same content on a regular basis. Once the pages for such an Internet site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a user opens them. Since this saves the time to get content from the database and to parse and compile the code, the Internet site will load a lot quicker. APC is really useful particularly for scripts with larger source code.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, therefore you will be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the web hosting plan that you choose when you register. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which is used to handle the shared accounts and just several minutes later it'll speed up your Internet sites because it will begin caching their code. In case you wish to run Internet sites with various system requirements or employ specific web accelerators for some of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder. This way, you can enable or disable APC not just for a specific site without affecting the other Internet sites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions simultaneously.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is available with all semi-dedicated server solutions as it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you'd like to use this module, you'll be able to enable it with a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional in a couple of minutes. As you may need to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our leading-edge platform will enable you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based site can function with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site could work 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 can run websites with different requirements inside the exact same account.
