Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache 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 a website as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor opens some webpage, 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 site visitor. In case the output code does not change however, which is the case with sites that display identical content all of the time, these actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it any time visitors browse a site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code does not need to be parsed and compiled over and over again, that in turn minimizes the website loading time. The module could be very efficient for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud platform, which means that you'll be able to use it for your applications regardless of the cloud website hosting plan that you select when you register. The module can be enabled from the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel that is used to take care of the shared accounts and just a few minutes later it'll speed up your sites as it'll start caching their code. If you would like to run sites with various system requirements or use specific web accelerators for any of them, you could customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file in the preferred domain folder. Thus, you can enable or disable APC not only for a specific website without affecting the other Internet sites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP since our platform supports multiple versions at the same time.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is installed on the innovative cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are created, so you will be able to employ it whatever the plan you pick. Activating the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you will not need any skills or previous experience to take full advantage of it. Since you'll be able to use different versions of PHP simultaneously, you will be able to customize the software environment for each Internet site that you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with a few lines in it placed in a domain folder will enable you to set what release of PHP this website will use and if APC has to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account as a whole, so you could run various scripts and employ different web accelerators for sites which are in the same account.
