Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and will speed up such an Internet site as much as 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and every time a website visitor accesses a webpage, the script hooks up to a database to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with sites which show identical content all the time, these actions trigger unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled over and over again, which in turn decreases the website loading time. The module can be rather helpful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is available with each cloud hosting plan that we offer and you can enable it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you wish to use it for your applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you'll notice the faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. As we offer several versions of PHP which could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our next generation cloud hosting platform is extremely flexible, so if you use some other web accelerator for any website and it disturbs APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a particular site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take full advantage of APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages and activating this framework is done with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you have no previous experience, you will be able to use it to boost your Internet sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are set up is compatible with multiple PHP versions, you'll have flexibility regarding the scripts and web accelerators you could employ. It will take you just a click to allow APC for one or several PHP releases and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings which are different from the ones for the account as a whole, you'll be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. This way, one Internet site could use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, while another one can use some different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
