APC, or Alternative PHP Cache, is a PHP module which caches the output code of database-driven script applications. Dynamic PHP Internet sites store their content in a database which is accessed whenever a visitor opens a page. The content which should be viewed is gathered and the code is parsed and compiled before it is delivered to the visitor. All these actions need 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 various sites which have the exact same content on a number of of their webpages at all times - blogs, info portals, hotel and restaurant websites, etcetera. APC is extremely useful for this kind of sites since it caches the previously compiled code and shows it each time visitors browse the cached pages, so the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled all over again. Not only will this lower the server load, but it will also increase the speed of any site many times.

As you'll be able to work with different releases of PHP at the same time, you'll be able to customize the software environment for each and every Internet site which you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what release of PHP this particular Internet site will use and if APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account in general, so you can run various scripts and employ various web accelerators for Internet sites that are in the same account.
