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 can boost such a site up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and each time a website visitor opens some web page, the script connects to a database to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is shown to the site visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with sites which show identical content at all times, such actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it every time visitors browse a site, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled continuously, which consequently lowers the Internet site loading time. The module could be very helpful for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting
APC is pre-installed on our leading-edge cloud platform, so you'll be able to use it for your web applications regardless of the shared website hosting plan that you choose when you join us. The module can be activated from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to maintain the shared accounts and just a few minutes later it'll boost your Internet sites as it will begin caching their program code. If you would like to run sites with different system requirements or employ specific web accelerators for some of them, you will be able to customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file inside the desired domain folder. Thus, you could enable or disable APC not just for a specific site without affecting the remaining websites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP since our platform is compatible with multiple versions simultaneously.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting
APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting solutions since it's pre-installed on the cloud hosting platform where your account shall be created. In case you'd like to use this module, you can enable it with a single click inside your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully functional within a couple of minutes. As you may want to use other web accelerators for selected sites, our cutting-edge platform will allow you to personalize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different versions of PHP or use it just for some websites and not for others. For instance, a Drupal™-based site could work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC employing PHP 5.6. What is needed to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you could run websites with different requirements from the exact same account.
