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. Each time a PHP webpage is accessed, the script pulls the content which should be loaded from a database, parses and compiles the code, then the result is displayed to the site visitor. While this is necessary for sites with regularly changing content, it's a complete waste of processing time and resources for an Internet site which does not change, for example an informational portal that shows the exact same content on a regular basis. When the web pages for such a website are compiled, APC caches them and delivers them each time a website visitor accesses them. Since this saves the time to collect content from the database and to parse and compile the code, the Internet site will load considerably quicker. APC is very efficient in particular for scripts with large source code.

You can take full advantage of APC with our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating the framework is performed with a mouse click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you lack previous experience, you could use it in order to speed up your websites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are set up is compatible with multiple PHP releases, you will have flexibility regarding the scripts and web accelerators you could employ. It will take you only a click to enable APC for one or several PHP versions and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are different from the ones for the account in general, you'll be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. In this way, one site can use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, and another one may use a different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
