APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites keep their content in a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content which has to be viewed is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the website visitor. All of these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the web server for each page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for sites with constantly changing content material, there're numerous Internet sites which present the very same content on a number of of their webpages constantly - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant websites, and many others. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of sites since it caches the already compiled code and shows it each time visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only minimize the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any Internet site many times.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting
You can use APC with each and every web hosting plan that we provide since it's already present on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our system is extremely flexible, you will be able to run websites with various system requirements and decide if they will work with APC or not. For example, you can enable APC only for one release of PHP or you could do this for several of the versions running on our platform. You may also choose if all websites using a certain PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected sites and not for all Internet sites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you wish to employ a different web accelerator for some of your Internet sites. These customizations are done without any difficulty via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is set up on the amazing cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are created, so you could employ it irrespective of the package you pick. Enabling the module is performed from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you won't need any skills or previous experience to take advantage of it. Since you will be able to employ several versions of PHP at once, you will be able to customize the software environment for every single website you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what version of PHP this particular website will use and if APC needs to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account in general, so you can run various scripts and employ different web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
