APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP sites store their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that has to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the site visitor. All these actions need some processing time and require reading and writing on the hosting server for each and every page that is loaded. While this can't be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there're numerous sites that present the very same content on a number of of their pages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etc. APC is quite useful for this kind of Internet sites because it caches the already compiled code and shows it whenever visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only greatly reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any Internet site a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is available with every single web hosting plan that we offer and you can enable it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your applications. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you'll notice the quicker loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we offer different releases of PHP that could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP inside the same account. Our next generation cloud web hosting platform is extremely flexible, so in case you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a certain site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.
