Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers that is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and could boost such a website up to 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and any time a website visitor opens some web page, the script hooks up to a database to retrieve some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it's shown to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, that is the case with websites that show the exact same content at all times, such actions trigger needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database does not have to be accessed and the code does not need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently decreases the website loading time. The module could be very helpful for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Website Hosting

You can use APC with each and every cloud website hosting plan that we offer because it is already set up on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is rather flexible, you'll be able to run Internet sites with various system requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For example, you can allow APC only for one version of PHP or you could do this for several of the releases that run on the platform. In addition, you can choose if all sites working with a certain PHP version will use APC or whether the latter will be active just for selected websites and not for all websites in the web hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful when you wish to employ a different web accelerator for several of your sites. These customizations are done with ease via a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
