Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers which is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and will speed up such a website up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and every time a user accesses some webpage, the script links to a database in order to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the visitor. If the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with sites that display the exact same content at all times, such actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it each time visitors browse a website, so the database does not have to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled over and over again, which consequently decreases the website loading time. The module could be really useful for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

You can use APC with each cloud hosting plan that we offer because it's already installed on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you only a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. As our platform is extremely flexible, you can run sites with various system requirements and decide whether they will use APC or not. For instance, you can enable APC only for a single version of PHP or you can do the latter for several of the versions that run on our platform. It's also possible to select if all websites using a given PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be active just for selected sites and not for all sites in the website hosting account. The last option is useful when you want to employ a different web accelerator for several of your Internet sites. These customizations are done without difficulty through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting plans since it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you wish to use this module, you will be able to enable it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional in a couple of minutes. Since you may need to use alternative web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our cutting-edge platform will allow you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it just for some 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. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you'll be able to run sites with different requirements inside the very same account.
