APC (PHP Opcode Cache)
Find what the phrase ‘APC’ means, everything that APC is able to do PHP effectiveness-wise and approaches to enable it for your account.
Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very useful for scripts with large source code and could accelerate such a website up to three times. PHP sites are dynamic and each time a user opens a webpage, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, after that the code is parsed and compiled before it is shown to the visitor. In case the output code does not change however, that's the case with websites which display the exact same content all of the time, such actions trigger unnecessary 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 doesn't need to be accessed and the code does not need to be parsed and compiled again and again, which in turn lowers the Internet site loading time. The module can be quite helpful for informational websites, blogs, portfolios, and many others.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Cloud Hosting
You can employ APC for your web applications with all of the
cloud hosting plans that we offer since it is pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform. Turning it on will take just a single click inside the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with our shared solutions and a few minutes later it will start caching the program code of your apps. Our platform is rather flexible, so you'll be able to use several configurations depending on the system requirements of the scripts. For instance, you could activate APC for a couple of versions of PHP for the whole account and pick the version that each website will use, or you can have the very same version of PHP, but activate or deactivate APC only for particular sites. This is done by putting a php.ini file with a line of code in the domain or subdomain folder where you require the customized setup.

APC (PHP Opcode Cache) in Semi-dedicated Servers
APC is installed on the amazing cloud hosting platform where all
semi-dedicated server accounts are made, so you will be able to employ it irrespective of the package you choose. Enabling the module is performed through the Hepsia Control Panel and takes just a mouse click, so you won't need any skills or prior experience to be able to take full advantage of it. As you will be able to work with different versions of PHP simultaneously, you could customize the software environment for each site that you host in the account if needed. A php.ini file with several lines in it placed in a domain folder will permit you to set what version of PHP this particular site will use and whether APC needs to be on or off for it. These settings will have priority over the ones for the account as a whole, so you could run various scripts and employ different web accelerators for Internet sites which are in the same account.
