Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers which is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and will speed up such a website as much as 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and every time a visitor accesses some webpage, the script hooks up to a database to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the site visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with sites that display the very same content at all times, these actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it each time visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently decreases the site loading time. The module can be pretty efficient for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is provided with each and every shared hosting solution that we offer and you can enable it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you will notice the faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we offer several releases of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform is very flexible, so if you use a different web accelerator for any website and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a certain site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting plans as it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you wish to use this module, you can enable it with a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully operational within a few minutes. Since you may need to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our cutting-edge platform will enable you to personalize the software environment in your account. You will 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 site can work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you could run sites with various requirements in the exact same account.
