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 could accelerate such an Internet site up to three times. PHP websites are dynamic and each time a visitor opens a webpage, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, that's the case with websites which display the very same content all the time, such actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that consequently decreases the website loading time. The module could be really effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting
You'll be able to employ APC for your web apps with any of the cloud website hosting plans that we offer since it's pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Turning it on will take just a click in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared plans and a couple of minutes later it will start caching the program code of your applications. Our platform is really flexible, so you'll be able to use several configurations determined by the system requirements of the scripts. For example, you will be able to activate APC for several versions of PHP for the entire account and choose the version that each site will use, or you could have the same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC just for specified Internet sites. This is done by putting a php.ini file with a line of code in the domain or subdomain folder where you require the custom configuration.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is available with all semi-dedicated server solutions as it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you wish to use this module, you will be able to activate it with just a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional in a couple of minutes. Since you may need to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our leading-edge platform will permit you to customize the software environment in your account. You can activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some Internet sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you will be able to run sites with various requirements inside the same account.
