APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP sites save their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content that needs to be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the visitor. These actions take some processing time and involve reading and writing on the web server for each and every page which is accessed. While this can't be avoided for Internet sites with constantly changing content material, there're a lot of Internet sites that present the exact same content on many of their pages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etcetera. APC is extremely useful for this type of websites as it caches the already compiled code and shows it whenever visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled all over again. This will not only decrease the server load, but it will also boost the speed of any Internet site several times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use APC with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer as it's already present on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is extremely flexible, you will be able to run sites with various system requirements and decide if they will use APC or not. For instance, you can enable APC only for one release of PHP or you can do the latter for several of the versions that run on our platform. You may also decide if all sites working with a certain PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be active just for selected websites and not for all Internet sites in the web hosting account. The last option is useful if you need to employ a different web accelerator for several of your websites. These customizations are performed effortlessly by using a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
