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 efficient for scripts with large source code and will boost such a site up to 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and every time a visitor opens some page, the script links to a database in order to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the guest. In case the output code doesn't change however, which is the case with sites which display identical content all of the time, such actions trigger unneeded reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse a site, so the database does not have to be accessed and the program code does not need to be parsed and compiled again and again, which consequently decreases the website loading time. The module can be rather helpful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

You can use APC with each and every shared website hosting plan that we offer since it is already set up on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. As our platform is really flexible, you'll be able to run sites with different system requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For example, you could enable APC only for one version of PHP or you could do the latter for several of the releases running on our platform. It's also possible to select if all websites using a specific PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be active only for selected websites and not for all Internet sites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you want to employ a different web accelerator for some of your sites. These customizations are done with ease via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Hosting

APC is available with all semi-dedicated hosting packages because it is pre-installed on the cloud website hosting platform where your account will be created. If you would like to use this module, you will be able to activate it with just a single click in your Hepsia Control Panel and it will be fully operational in a few minutes. Since you may want to use alternative web accelerators for selected websites, our outstanding platform will enable you to customize the software environment in your account. You'll be able to activate APC for different releases of PHP or use it only for some Internet sites and not for others. For example, a Drupal™-based Internet site can work with APC using PHP 5.4 and a WordPress website can work without APC using PHP 5.6. All it takes to do the aforementioned is a php.ini file with a couple of lines in it, so you could run sites with various requirements inside the very same account.
