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 useful for scripts with large source code and can speed up such a site as much as three times. PHP sites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor accesses some page, the script hooks up to a database to retrieve some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it's displayed to the site visitor. If 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 trigger needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a website, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled continuously, which 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 Cloud Website Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our outstanding cloud platform, which means that you can use it for your web applications whatever the cloud website hosting plan that you choose when you join us. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is used to take care of the shared accounts and only a couple of minutes later it'll boost your Internet sites because it'll start caching their program code. If you need to run websites with different system requirements or employ specific web accelerators for any of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by putting a php.ini file inside the desired domain folder. Thus, you can enable or disable APC not only for a specific site without affecting the other Internet sites in the account, but also for a certain version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions at the same time.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can use APC with all of our semi-dedicated hosting solutions and activating this framework is done with a mouse click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, so even if you lack previous experience, you'll be able to use it to boost your websites. As the cloud internet hosting platform where the semi-dedicated accounts are set up is compatible with multiple PHP releases, you will have freedom regarding the scripts and web accelerators you could employ. It will take you just a click to enable APC for one or a couple of PHP versions and by using a php.ini file inside the domain/subdomain folders where you need settings that are not the same as the ones for the account in general, you can set what PHP release will be used and whether APC should be enabled or not. This way, one website may use APC and PHP 5.3, for instance, whereas another one can use some different accelerator and PHP 5.5.
