Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache web servers that is employed to cache the output code of script applications. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and will boost such a website up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and each time a website visitor accesses some web page, the script links to a database to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the guest. In case the output code does not change however, which is the case with Internet sites that display the same content at all times, such actions result in needless reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled program code and delivers it every time visitors browse a website, so the database doesn't need to be accessed and the code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, that in turn minimizes the site loading time. The module could be pretty effective for informational sites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Website Hosting

You can use APC with every single shared website hosting package that we offer because it's already installed on our advanced cloud platform and enabling it will take you only a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel. Since our platform is quite flexible, you will be able to run Internet sites with various requirements and decide whether they will use APC or not. For example, you can enable APC only for one release 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 certain PHP version will use APC or if the latter will be enabled only for selected Internet sites and not for all Internet sites in the hosting account. The last option is useful if you want to employ a different web accelerator for several of your Internet sites. These customizations are carried out with ease through a php.ini file in selected domain or subdomain folders.
