Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and can speed up such an Internet site up to 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a user accesses some webpage, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being shown to the site visitor. If the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with websites which display identical content all the time, these actions trigger needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it any time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled again and again, that consequently lowers the site loading time. The module can be pretty helpful for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, etc.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is provided with each shared hosting solution that we offer and you could activate it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you want to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be working and you'll experience the quicker loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we provide different releases of PHP that could also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP in the very same account. Our leading-edge cloud Internet hosting platform is very flexible, so if you use another web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a certain site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can take advantage of APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting packages and activating this framework is done with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you don't have any prior experience, you could use it in order to quicken your sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are set up supports multiple PHP versions, you'll have freedom with regards to the scripts and web accelerators you can employ. It will take you only a click to activate APC for one or a couple of PHP versions and by using a php.ini file in the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are different from the ones for the account in general, you will be able to set what PHP version will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. In this way, one site could use APC and PHP 5.3, for example, whereas another one may use some different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
