Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and could boost such an Internet site as much as 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a visitor accesses some page, the script links to a database to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being shown to the website visitor. If the output code does not change however, which is the case with websites that show the very same content at all times, these actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it any time visitors browse a site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that consequently minimizes the site loading time. The module could be extremely effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our next generation cloud platform, therefore you can use it for your web applications regardless of the cloud hosting plan that you select when you sign up. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel that is used to maintain the shared accounts and only several minutes later it'll speed up your Internet sites because it'll begin caching their program code. If you wish to run sites with various system requirements or take advantage of different web accelerators for any of them, you can customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the preferred domain folder. Thus, you can enable or disable APC not only for a particular site without affecting the other sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP because our platform supports multiple versions simultaneously.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use APC for every single script application that runs on your new semi-dedicated hosting because the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be generated. Activating or deactivating APC for the account requires a click in the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you could use the module only for certain Internet sites. This is possible on account of the flexibility of our cloud platform - several releases of PHP run on it at the same time, so with a php.ini file placed in a site folder, you can pick what version will be used for this particular site and whether APC needs to be enabled or disabled. Using such a file allows you to use settings that are different from the ones for the account, so you'll be able to take advantage of APC for a lot of scripts where the module makes a difference and not for others where you could use a different kind of web accelerator.
