APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content inside a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content that should be shown is retrieved and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. All these actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the web server for every single page which is loaded. While this can't be avoided for sites with regularly changing content, there're a lot of Internet sites that feature the same content on many of their webpages all of the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is extremely useful for this type of sites since it caches the previously compiled code and displays it when visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only lower the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our outstanding cloud platform, so you'll be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the web hosting plan that you pick when you register. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel that is used to maintain the shared accounts and only a few minutes later it will boost your Internet sites as it'll begin caching their program code. If you want to run Internet sites with different system requirements or use different web accelerators for any of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file in the desired domain folder. This way, you can enable or disable APC not just for a certain website without affecting the remaining sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP because our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.
