APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP websites hold their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a webpage. The content which has to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and include reading and writing on the web server for every single page which is opened. While this can't be avoided for websites with regularly changing content, there're numerous sites which have the exact same content on a lot of of their webpages at all times - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etc. APC is quite useful for this kind of Internet sites as it caches the already compiled code and displays it whenever visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. This will not only decrease the server load, but it will also raise the speed of any website several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

You can employ APC for your web applications with all of the shared hosting plans that we offer since it is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform. Enabling it will take just a mouse click in the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with our shared solutions and several minutes later it will begin caching the code of your applications. Our platform is quite flexible, so you'll be able to use several configurations determined by the system requirements of the scripts. For instance, you'll be able to activate APC for several versions of PHP for the entire account and specify the version that each site can use, or you could have the same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC just for specific websites. You can do this by placing a php.ini file with a line of code in the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized setup.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting packages since it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. If you want to use this module, you can activate it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a couple of minutes. As you may need to use other web accelerators for selected sites, our cutting-edge platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You will be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the latter is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you will be able to run websites with various requirements from the very same account.
