APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module that caches the output code of database-driven script software apps. Dynamic PHP websites keep their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor loads a page. The content which needs to be shown is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being delivered to the website visitor. All of these actions take some processing time and include reading and writing on the server for each page that is accessed. While this cannot be avoided for websites with constantly changing content material, there're a lot of websites which offer the same content on a number of of their webpages constantly - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant sites, etcetera. APC is exceptionally useful for this type of websites because it caches the already compiled code and displays it whenever visitors browse the cached webpages, so the code does not have to be parsed and compiled again. This will not only reduce the server load, but it'll also raise the speed of any website a few times.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

You can use APC with every single shared hosting plan that we provide since it's already installed on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our system is really flexible, you can run Internet sites with various system requirements and decide if they will work with APC or not. For example, you can enable APC only for a single version of PHP or you could do the latter for several of the releases running on the platform. You can also choose if all sites using a certain PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled just for selected sites and not for all sites in the website hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you intend to employ a different web accelerator for some of your sites. These customizations are done effortlessly via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
