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 could boost such an Internet site up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and whenever a visitor accesses some webpage, the script connects to a database in order to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the site visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that's the case with Internet sites which show identical content all of the time, such actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that in turn reduces the Internet site loading time. The module could be quite helpful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

You will be able to employ APC for your web apps with all of the web hosting plans that we offer because it is pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform. Turning it on will take only a click inside the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with our shared solutions and a few minutes later it'll begin caching the code of your software apps. Our platform is really flexible, so you'll be able to use different configurations determined by the system requirements of your scripts. For instance, you'll be able to activate APC for several versions of PHP for the entire account and select the version that each Internet site can use, or you could have the exact same version of PHP, but activate or deactivate APC just for particular sites. You can do this by placing a php.ini file with a line of code in the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take full advantage of APC with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating this framework is performed with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you have no prior experience, you'll be able to use it to boost your sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are created supports multiple PHP versions, you will have flexibility with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you'll be able to employ. It will take you just a click to activate APC for one or a couple of PHP versions and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account in general, you'll be able to set what PHP version will be used and whether APC should be allowed or not. In this way, one website may use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, whereas another one may use another accelerator and PHP 5.5.
