Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and could accelerate such an Internet site up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and each time a visitor opens a web page, the script connects to a database to retrieve some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the site visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with Internet sites that show the very same content at all times, these actions result in unnecessary reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently minimizes the Internet site loading time. The module can be rather helpful for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting
APC is available with each cloud website hosting plan that we offer and you could enable it with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you would like to use it for your applications. Several minutes later the framework will be active and you'll notice the considerably quicker loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we offer different releases of PHP which can also be selected from Hepsia, you'll even be able to to employ APC for scripts which require different versions of PHP within the same account. Our high tech cloud Internet hosting platform is very adaptable, so if you use another web accelerator for any website and it interferes with APC, you could activate or deactivate the latter 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 Hosting
APC is set up on the innovative cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated hosting accounts are made, so you will be able to employ it whatever the package you choose. Activating the module is performed from the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you won't need any skills or earlier experience to take advantage of it. As you'll be able to use several releases of PHP at once, you will be able to customize the software environment for every single website you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what release of PHP this website will use and whether APC should be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over those for the account in general, so you could run various scripts and use different web accelerators for websites that are in the same account.
