Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and will accelerate such an Internet site up to three times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a visitor opens a webpage, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the website visitor. If the output code does not change however, that is the case with sites that display identical content at all times, such actions trigger unneeded 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 code does not need to be parsed and compiled over and over again, which in turn decreases the Internet site loading time. The module could be very helpful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etc.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is provided with each cloud hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with just a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you'll notice the quicker loading speed of your database-driven sites. As we provide several versions of PHP which could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform is very flexible, so in case you use a different web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a particular 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 each and every script application which runs on your new semi-dedicated hosting since the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the account requires a single click from the Hepsia Control Panel, but if needed, you could use the module only for specific websites. This is possible as a result of the versatility of our cloud platform - several versions of PHP run on it concurrently, so with a php.ini file placed in a website folder, you will be able to select what version will be used for this particular website and whether APC has to be enabled or disabled. Employing such a file permits you to use settings that are different from the ones for your account, so you will be able to take advantage of APC for many scripts where the module will make a difference and not for others where you could use another kind of web accelerator.
