Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very effective for scripts with large source code and can speed up such an Internet site up to three times. PHP websites are dynamic and each time a user accesses some page, the script connects to a database in order to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the website visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with websites which show 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 program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a website, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code does not need to be parsed and compiled over and over again, which consequently minimizes the website loading time. The module can be quite efficient for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Web Hosting
APC is available with each and every shared web hosting package that we offer and you could enable it with only a click through your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your applications. A few minutes later the framework will be active and you'll notice the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven websites. Since we provide several versions of PHP which could also be selected through Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP in the same account. Our next generation cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any Internet site and it disrupts APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a selected site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can use APC with all our semi-dedicated server solutions and activating this framework is done with a click from the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you lack previous experience, you can use it to accelerate your sites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are made is compatible with multiple PHP versions, you will have flexibility regarding the scripts and web accelerators you'll be able to employ. It will take you just a click to allow APC for one or several PHP releases and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are different from the ones for the account in general, you could set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. This way, one website could use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, whereas another one could use some other accelerator and PHP 5.5.
