APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a webpage. The content that should be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. These actions take some processing time and require reading and writing on the server for each page which is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for Internet sites with regularly changing content material, there are numerous websites that have the same content on many of their webpages all of the time - blogs, informational portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is really useful for such websites as it caches the previously compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly. Not only will this decrease the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any site several times.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting
APC is available with each and every cloud hosting plan that we offer and you could activate it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you'll notice the faster loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. As we provide several versions of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP inside the very same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform is very adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a specific site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is set up on the state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you will be able to employ it irrespective of the plan you choose. Activating the module is done from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you will not need any skills or previous experience to take full advantage of it. As you'll be able to employ several releases of PHP concurrently, you could modify the software environment for each and every Internet site which you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what version of PHP this Internet site will use and whether APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account in general, so you can run different scripts and employ various web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
