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 speed up such an Internet site up to 3 times. PHP sites are dynamic and every time a user accesses a web page, the script links to a database to get some content, and then the code is parsed and compiled before it is displayed to the site visitor. If the output code does not change however, that is the case with Internet sites that show the very same content all the time, these actions trigger excessive reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the previously compiled code and delivers it each time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database does not need to be accessed and the program code doesn't need to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which in turn reduces the website loading time. The module can be quite useful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and so on.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Shared Hosting

APC is pre-installed on our outstanding cloud platform, therefore you'll be able to use it for your applications regardless of the shared hosting package that you choose when you join us. The module can be enabled from your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel which is used to maintain the shared accounts and just a couple of minutes later it'll speed up your sites as it'll start caching their code. If you would like to run websites with various system requirements or use specific web accelerators for any of them, you can customize the software environment by placing a php.ini file inside the desired domain folder. In this way, you can enable or disable APC not just for a specific website without affecting the other Internet sites in the account, but also for a particular version of PHP because our platform is compatible with multiple versions simultaneously.
