Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and could boost such a site as much as 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and each time a user accesses a page, the script connects to a database to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the guest. If the output code doesn't change however, that is the case with Internet sites which display identical content at all times, such actions result in excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the program code does not have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently reduces the Internet site loading time. The module can be rather efficient for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Website Hosting

You can use APC with each and every website hosting package that we offer as it is already present on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you just a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our system is really flexible, you'll be able to run Internet sites with different system requirements and decide if they will use APC or not. For instance, you can enable APC only for one version of PHP or you could do this for several of the versions running on the platform. You may also decide if all Internet sites using a given PHP version will use APC or whether the latter will be enabled only for selected Internet sites and not for all Internet sites in the web hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you intend to employ a different web accelerator for some of your Internet sites. These customizations are carried out without difficulty through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
