Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is used to cache the output code of script apps. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and will speed up such an Internet site up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and every time a website visitor opens a web page, the script links to a database in order to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with websites that display the exact same content at all times, such actions result in unnecessary reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it any time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that consequently decreases the site loading time. The module could be extremely helpful for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

You'll be able to use APC for your web apps with any of the website hosting plans that we offer as it is pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Activating it will take only a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared solutions and a couple of minutes later it'll start caching the program code of your software apps. Our platform is extremely flexible, so you'll be able to use different configurations in accordance with the system requirements of the scripts. For instance, you'll be able to activate APC for a couple of versions of PHP for the whole account and choose the version that each Internet site will use, or you could have the exact same version of PHP, but activate or deactivate APC only for specified Internet sites. This is done by placing a php.ini file with a line of code in the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take advantage of APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages and activating this framework is performed with a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you don't have any prior experience, you'll be able to use it to quicken your websites. As the cloud hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are created is compatible with multiple PHP releases, you will have freedom with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you could employ. It will take you only a click to activate APC for one or several PHP versions and by using a php.ini file in the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account as a whole, you'll be able to set what PHP release will be used and whether APC has to be enabled or not. This way, one site can use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, while another one could use some other accelerator and PHP 5.5.
