Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is used to cache the output code of script apps. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and could boost such an Internet site up to three times. PHP websites are dynamic and any time a user accesses a page, the script connects to a database in order to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being shown to the visitor. If the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with Internet sites that show the same content all of the time, these actions result in unneeded 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 doesn't have to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled over and over again, that consequently decreases the website loading time. The module could be pretty effective for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etc.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting

APC is available with each and every cloud hosting solution that we offer and you could enable it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your web applications. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you will notice the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven sites. Since we provide several versions of PHP which can also be selected through Hepsia, you will even be able to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP in the same account. Our next generation cloud Internet hosting platform is extremely flexible, so in case you use a different web accelerator for any Internet site and it interferes with APC, you could activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a certain site only by using a php.ini file created in the domain or subdomain folder.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to use APC for every single script application that is run on your new semi-dedicated server since the module is pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where the account will be made. Activating or deactivating APC for the account requires one click inside the Hepsia Control Panel, but if needed, you can use the module only for certain websites. This is possible as a result of the versatility of our cloud platform - several releases of PHP run on it at the same time, so with a php.ini file placed in a site folder, you'll be able to pick what version will be used for this particular site and whether APC has to be enabled or disabled. Employing such a file permits you to use settings that are different from the standard ones for the account, so you will be able to take full advantage of APC for many scripts where the module will make a difference and not for others where you can employ some other type of web accelerator.
