APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP websites store their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that should be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. All these actions need some processing time and involve reading and writing on the server for every single page which is accessed. While this can't be avoided for websites with regularly changing content material, there're various sites that present the exact same content on a lot of of their webpages at all times - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant Internet sites, etcetera. APC is very useful for this kind of sites since it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any site several times.

APC is provided with every single website hosting solution that we offer and you could activate it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you'll notice the faster loading speed of your database-driven websites.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is set up on the state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you'll be able to employ it regardless of the package you pick. Enabling the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a click, so you will not need any skills or prior experience in order to take full advantage of it. Since you'll be able to work with several releases of PHP at the same time, you'll be able to customize the software environment for every single site which you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what release of PHP this website will use and if APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account as a whole, so you could run different scripts and employ various web accelerators for sites which are in the same account.
