Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is used to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and could speed up such a site up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a user opens some webpage, the script connects to a database in order to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the guest. If the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with websites which show the same content at all times, such actions trigger unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it any time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled continuously, that in turn lowers the Internet site loading time. The module could be really efficient for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etc.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Web Hosting

APC is available with each web hosting package that we offer and you can activate it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you wish to use it for your web apps. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you will experience the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we provide different releases of PHP that could also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts that require different versions of PHP inside the same account. Our high tech cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use a different web accelerator for any website and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a specific site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to use APC for every single script application that runs on your new semi-dedicated hosting since the module is already installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the account takes a single click in the Hepsia Control Panel, but if necessary, you could use the module only for specific Internet sites. This is possible due to the versatility of our cloud platform - different versions of PHP run on it concurrently, so with a php.ini file placed in a site folder, you will be able to choose what version will be used for this particular Internet site and whether APC needs to be enabled or disabled. Using such a file enables you to use settings which are different from the standard ones for your account, so you can take full advantage of APC for a lot of scripts where the module will make a difference and not for others where you could employ some other kind of web accelerator.
