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 can accelerate such a site up to three times. PHP websites are dynamic and every time a visitor accesses a web page, the script connects to a database to retrieve some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled prior to it being displayed to the site visitor. If the output code doesn't change however, that's the case with Internet sites which display the same content all the time, such actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it whenever visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently reduces the Internet site loading time. The module can be really useful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

You can use APC with each shared website hosting plan that we provide since it's already set up on our advanced cloud platform and activating it will take you just a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. As our platform is quite flexible, you will be able to run sites with various system requirements and decide whether they will work with APC or not. For instance, you can allow APC only for one release of PHP or you could do the latter for several of the releases running on the platform. It's also possible to select if all Internet sites working with a particular PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled just for selected sites and not for all Internet sites in the hosting account. The aforementioned option is useful if you'd like to employ a different web accelerator for several of your websites. These customizations are performed without any difficulty through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
