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 effective for scripts with large source code and can speed up such a site up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and any time a visitor accesses a web page, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the visitor. In case the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with websites that display the exact same content at all times, 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 does not need to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled again and again, which consequently reduces the website loading time. The module could be rather effective for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting
APC is available with each website hosting package that we offer and you could activate it with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel if you'd like to use it for your web apps. A couple of minutes later the framework will be active and you'll be able to take advantage of the considerably faster loading speed of your database-driven Internet sites. Since we provide several versions of PHP that can also be selected from Hepsia, you will even be able to use APC for scripts which need different versions of PHP in the same account. Our next generation cloud web hosting platform is very flexible, so if you use a different web accelerator for any Internet site and it disturbs APC, you'll be able to activate or deactivate the aforementioned for a particular site only by using a php.ini file generated in the domain or subdomain folder.
APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is installed on the innovative cloud Internet hosting platform where all semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you'll be able to use it irrespective of the plan you pick. Activating the module is done through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes only a click, so you will not need any skills or prior experience in order to take full advantage of it. As you'll be able to use different versions of PHP at the same time, you could modify the software environment for every single site that you host in the account if necessary. A php.ini file with a couple of lines in it placed in a domain folder will allow you to set what version of PHP this Internet site 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 different scripts and employ various web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
