Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and will boost such a website as much as three times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor accesses a page, the script connects to a database to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with Internet sites which display the very same content all the time, these actions result in unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it each time visitors browse a site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently reduces the website loading time. The module could be really useful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etc.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, which means that you will be able to use it for your applications regardless of the shared hosting solution that you select when you sign up. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is used to manage the shared accounts and just several minutes later it'll boost your sites as it will begin caching their code. In case you want to run Internet sites with different system requirements or use different web accelerators for some of them, you'll be able to customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file in the desired domain folder. This way, you could enable or disable APC not just for a certain site without affecting the remaining Internet sites in the account, but also for a specific version of PHP as our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting solutions because it's pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. In case you wish to use this module, you will be able to activate it with a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected sites, our advanced platform will enable you to personalize the software environment inside your account. You can activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it only for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based Internet site could work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you could run Internet sites with different requirements in the exact same account.
