Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is used to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and can boost such a website as much as three times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a website visitor opens a web page, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being shown to the guest. If the output code does not change however, that's the case with sites which show the very same content at all times, these actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled over and over again, that consequently minimizes the website loading time. The module could be really useful for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is available with every single web hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your web apps. A few minutes later the framework will be working and you will experience the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we provide several versions of PHP which could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP in the same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud Internet hosting platform is very flexible, so if you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a selected site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You’ll be able to use APC for every script application that is run on your new semi-dedicated hosting because the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the entire account takes a single click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, but if needed, you can use the module only for certain sites. This is possible as a result of the versatility of our cloud platform - different releases of PHP run on it simultaneously, so with a php.ini file placed in a website folder, you can select what release will be used for this specific website and whether APC should be enabled or disabled. Using such a file enables you to use settings which are different from the ones for the account, so you could take advantage of APC for a lot of scripts where the module makes a difference and not for others where you can use a different type of web accelerator.
