APC, which is short for Alternative PHP Cache, is a framework used for caching the compiled source code of a given script app, that could boost a database-driven site several times. Every time a PHP page is accessed, the script pulls the content that 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 websites with routinely changing content, it's a complete waste of processing time and system resources for a site that does not change, such as an informational portal that displays the very same content on a regular basis. As soon as the webpages for such a site are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them whenever a website visitor loads them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the program code, the website will load considerably faster. APC is really helpful particularly for scripts with larger source code.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use APC with every single cloud web hosting package that we provide as it is already present on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is rather flexible, you will be able to run sites with various requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For instance, you could allow APC only for a single release of PHP or you could do the latter for several of the releases running on the platform. You may also select if all Internet sites working with a particular PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be active just for selected Internet sites and not for all sites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you'd like to employ a different web accelerator for some of your websites. These customizations are performed effortlessly by using a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
