Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and will speed up such an Internet site as much as 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and every time a user opens a webpage, the script hooks up to a database in order to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with sites which show the same content all the time, such actions trigger 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 need to be parsed and compiled continuously, that consequently lowers the website loading time. The module can be extremely efficient for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Web Hosting

APC is available with each cloud web hosting plan 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 applications. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you will be able to take advantage of the quicker loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we offer several versions of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts that need different versions of PHP inside the very same account. Our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform is extremely flexible, so in case you use an alternative web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the latter for a particular site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can use APC with our semi-dedicated hosting plans and activating this framework is performed with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel, so even when you lack previous 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 several PHP releases and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings which are different from the ones for the account in general, you could set what PHP release will be used and whether APC needs to be allowed or not. In this way, one site can use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, while another one could use a different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
