Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is used to cache the output code of script apps. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and will accelerate such an Internet site as much as three times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a website visitor opens some web page, the script hooks up to a database to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it's displayed to the guest. In case the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with sites that show the exact same content all of the time, such actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it any time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently decreases the site loading time. The module can be extremely effective for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

You can employ APC for your web applications with all of the shared hosting plans that we provide since it's pre-installed on our cloud website hosting platform. Enabling it will take only a click in the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with our shared plans and a couple of minutes later it'll start caching the code of your apps. Our platform is really flexible, so you will be able to use several configurations in accordance with the system requirements of the scripts. For instance, you will be able to activate APC for several versions of PHP for the entire account and choose the version that each site will use, or you could have the same version of PHP, but enable or disable APC only for specific websites. You can do this by putting a php.ini file with a line of program code within the domain or subdomain folder where you need the customized configuration.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting packages as it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. If you'd like to use this module, you will be able to enable it with a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it'll be fully operational in a couple of minutes. As you may want to use some other web accelerators for selected websites, our leading-edge platform will permit you to customize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some sites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based site could work with APC employing PHP 5.4 and a WordPress site could work without APC using PHP 5.6. What is needed to do that is a php.ini file with several lines in it, so you could run websites with various requirements inside the same account.
