Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers which is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and can boost such a site up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and every time a user accesses some web page, the script hooks up to a database to retrieve some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it's displayed to the site visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with websites that display identical content all the time, such actions trigger unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it each time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that consequently reduces the Internet site loading time. The module could be rather effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

APC is available with each and every shared website hosting package that we offer and you can enable it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you will experience the faster loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we provide several releases of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP within the same account. Our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it interferes with APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a certain site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is installed on the state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you will be able to use it irrespective of the package you pick. Activating the module is performed from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you won't need any skills or earlier experience in order to take full advantage of it. As you'll be able to employ several releases of PHP simultaneously, you will be able to customize the software environment for every single website which you host in the account if needed. 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 sites which are in the same account.
