APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites hold their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content that needs to be viewed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the website visitor. These actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the web server for each and every page that is accessed. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with constantly changing content, there are various Internet sites which offer the very same content on many of their pages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etc. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of websites because it caches the previously compiled code and displays it each time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only lower the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any Internet site many times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our outstanding cloud platform, therefore you'll be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the web hosting solution that you pick when you sign up. The module can be enabled through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to manage the shared accounts and only several minutes later it'll boost your sites because it will start caching their code. If you need to run websites with different system requirements or employ different web accelerators for any of them, you can customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the desired domain folder. Thus, you can enable or disable APC not just for a certain site without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP because our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.
