Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and will speed up such an Internet site as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor opens some web page, the script hooks up to a database in order to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being shown to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with Internet sites that show the very same content at all times, these actions result in unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled again and again, that consequently minimizes the site loading time. The module could be extremely effective for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

You can use APC with every single cloud web hosting package that we provide since it's already present on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our system is rather flexible, you will be able to run websites with various system requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For example, you can allow APC only for a single version of PHP or you can do this for several of the releases running on the platform. You may also choose if all Internet sites working with a certain PHP version will use APC or whether the latter will be enabled just for selected websites and not for all sites in the web hosting account. The last option is useful if you want to employ a different web accelerator for some of your websites. These customizations are carried out without any difficulty through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use APC for every 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 made. Activating or deactivating APC for the entire account takes a single click from the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you can use the module just for certain websites. This is possible due to the versatility of our cloud platform - multiple releases of PHP run on it simultaneously, so with a php.ini file placed in a website folder, you'll be able to pick what version will be used for this specific website and whether APC has to be enabled or disabled. Using such a file enables you to use settings which are different from the standard 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 another kind of web accelerator.
