Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is used to cache the output code of script apps. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and can speed up such a site as much as three times. PHP sites are dynamic and whenever a user opens some webpage, the script links to a database to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, which is the case with sites which show identical content all of the time, these actions trigger unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it any time visitors browse a website, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled continuously, that consequently reduces the site loading time. The module can be quite efficient for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etc.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting
APC is available with each and every shared hosting solution that we offer and you could activate it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you'll experience the quicker loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we provide different releases of PHP which could also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to use APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP in the same account. Our advanced cloud Internet hosting platform is very adaptable, so in case you use a different web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a particular site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting
APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting solutions as it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you want to use this module, you can enable it with just a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully functional within a few minutes. Since you may want to use other web accelerators for selected sites, our advanced platform will permit you to customize the software environment inside your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site can work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can function without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you can run sites with various requirements inside the same account.
