APC, which stands for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, which could boost a database-driven site several times. Any time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the content which needs to be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the program code, and then the result is displayed to the visitor. While this is necessary for sites with routinely changing content, it's a total waste of processing time and system resources for a site that doesn't change, for instance an informational portal which shows the exact same content on a regular basis. As soon as the webpages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a website visitor loads them. As this saves the time to obtain content from the database and to parse and compile the code, your website will load considerably quicker. APC is really efficient particularly for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

You can use APC with each and every website hosting package that we offer since it is already set up on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our system is quite flexible, you'll be able to run websites with different system requirements and decide whether they will use APC or not. For instance, you can allow APC only for one version of PHP or you could do this for several of the versions running on our platform. It's also possible to select if all Internet sites working with a given PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be active just for selected sites and not for all Internet sites in the website hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you would like to employ a different web accelerator for some of your websites. These customizations are carried out with ease through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
