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 effective for scripts with large source code and will speed up such a website up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a website visitor opens a web page, the script links to a database in order to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the website visitor. If the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with Internet sites which show identical content all the time, these actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the program code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled over and over again, that consequently lowers the Internet site loading time. The module can be extremely efficient for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Hosting

APC is available with every single hosting plan that we offer and you could activate it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your applications. Several minutes later the framework will be working and you will be able to take advantage of the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. As we provide different releases of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP within the same account. Our next generation cloud Internet hosting platform is very adaptable, so in case you use another web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a certain site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

APC is available with all semi-dedicated server plans because it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you want to use this module, you can enable it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a couple of minutes. As you may want to use other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our advanced platform will permit you to customize the software environment inside your account. You can activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based site can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website could work without APC using PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you could run Internet sites with various requirements in the exact same account.
