APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites save their content within a database that is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which has to be displayed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it's delivered to the website visitor. All these actions need some processing time and include reading and writing on the hosting server for each and every page that is accessed. While this can't be avoided for websites with regularly changing content material, there're a lot of websites which present the very same content on a number of of their webpages all the time - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etcetera. APC is exceptionally useful for this kind of sites because it caches the already compiled code and shows it every time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled again. Not only will this reduce the server load, but it'll also boost the speed of any website many times.

You can use APC for every single script application which is run on your new semi-dedicated server because the module is already installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be generated. Activating or deactivating APC for the account takes a click from the Hepsia Control Panel, but if needed, you can use the module just for certain Internet sites.
