Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and could accelerate such an Internet site up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor opens a webpage, the script connects to a database to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with Internet sites that display the same content all the time, such 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 doesn't need to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which in turn lowers the Internet site loading time. The module could be quite useful for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, therefore you'll be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the cloud website hosting solution that you choose when you register. The module can be enabled from the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel which is used to take care of the shared accounts and only a couple of minutes later it'll speed up your websites because it'll begin caching their program code. If you wish to run sites with different system requirements or take advantage of specific web accelerators for any of them, you'll be able to customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder. Thus, you can enable or disable APC not just for a specific Internet site without affecting the other sites in the account, but also for a certain version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting packages because it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you wish to use this module, you'll be able to enable it with a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional within a couple of minutes. Since you may want to use alternative web accelerators for selected websites, our state-of-the-art platform will permit you to customize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some Internet sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based Internet site could work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you'll be able to run Internet sites with various requirements inside the same account.
