Many licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unauthorized use of such apps. Among the most popular file encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it's widely used due to the fact that it can be used to alter any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to work efficiently on a web server after that is if one more tool called Zend Optimizer is available. If you want to employ any type of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your website. Also, websites that require the instrument will perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer comes with all the servers which are part of our modern cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of which shared website hosting you obtain, you will be able to take advantage of the software instrument to guarantee that any kind of script application that requires it will work perfectly as part of your account. By using a convenient software tool in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all the web hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate various functions with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any difficulties. In the exact same area you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, therefore whenever you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform enables you to use a couple of PHP releases simultaneously, more advanced users can enable the tool for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you just a few clicks to do that. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you need to go to the PHP Configuration section where you will find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, so you won't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
