Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and will boost such an Internet site as much as 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a visitor accesses a page, the script hooks up to a database in order to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with websites that display the exact same content all of the time, these actions trigger unnecessary reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it each time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that in turn minimizes the site loading time. The module could be quite effective for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting

APC is available with every single cloud website hosting solution that we offer and you could enable it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you wish to use it for your web applications. A few minutes later the framework will be working and you'll experience the quicker loading speed of your database-driven sites. As we provide several versions of PHP which can also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP inside the very same account. Our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use an alternative web accelerator for any Internet site and it interferes with APC, you will be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a specific 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 script application that runs on your new semi-dedicated hosting because the module is already installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the account takes a click in the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you can use the module only for certain websites. This is possible as a result of the versatility of our cloud platform - different versions of PHP run on it simultaneously, so with a php.ini file placed in a site folder, you can choose what release will be used for this particular Internet site and whether APC should be enabled or disabled. Using such a file allows you to use settings which are different from the ones for the account, so you will be able to take full advantage of APC for some scripts where the module makes a difference and not for others where you may use another kind of web accelerator.
