Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and could boost such a site as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and any time a visitor accesses a web page, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is shown to the website visitor. In case the output code does not change however, which is the case with sites which show the exact same content at all times, these actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it each time visitors browse a site, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that in turn decreases the site loading time. The module could be really useful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Hosting

You will be able to use APC for your web apps with all of the hosting packages that we provide because it is pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Activating it will take only a click in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared plans and a few minutes later it will start caching the program code of your apps. Our platform is really flexible, so you'll be able to use several configurations depending on the system requirements of the scripts. For example, you'll be able to activate APC for a couple of releases of PHP for the whole account and specify the version that each website can use, or you can have the very same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC only for particular sites. You can do this by placing a php.ini file with a line of code within the domain or subdomain folder where you require the custom configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting packages as it is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account will be created. If you would like to use this module, you will be able to activate it with just a single click from your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully operational within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use other web accelerators for selected Internet sites, our outstanding 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 website can work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site can function without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the latter is a php.ini file with a few lines in it, so you'll be able to run sites with different requirements in the exact same account.
