Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and could speed up such an Internet site up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and each time a visitor opens a page, the script links to a database in order to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it is shown to the visitor. If the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with sites which show identical content at all times, these actions trigger needless 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 need to be accessed and the code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled again and again, which in turn lowers the Internet site loading time. The module can be extremely effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our state-of-the-art cloud platform, which means that you'll be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the web hosting solution that you pick when you register. The module can be enabled from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to manage the shared accounts and just a couple of minutes later it'll speed up your Internet sites as it'll begin caching their code. If you need to run websites with various system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for any of them, you'll be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the desired domain folder. Thus, you could enable or disable APC not only for a specific site without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a certain version of PHP because our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting plans because it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account shall 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 functional in a few minutes. As you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected websites, our outstanding platform will enable you to customize the software environment in your account. You can activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based website can function with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do that is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you can run sites with different requirements from the exact same account.
