Many licensed and some free script-driven apps have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unwanted usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption software tools used for this specific purpose is named Zend Guard and it is commonly used as it can be used to modify any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to run the right way on a web server subsequently is when one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. When you'd like to employ any type of paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your website. Also, sites that need the tool tend to perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed faster.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all servers that are a part of our revolutionary cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of which Linux hosting you select, you can activate the instrument to ensure that any script app which requires it will work properly as part of your account. By using a convenient software tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the web hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate a variety of options with just a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your first hosting account ever, you won't encounter any issues. In the very same area you can also choose the PHP release for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, which means that whenever you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click. As our platform enables you to work with several PHP versions at the same time, more advanced users can enable the instrument for a particular site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We offer Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated servers. It is present on our revolutionary cloud platform, so if any script-driven application that you want to use requires it to work, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also change the PHP release that your web hosting account uses. For each new version which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your choice for previously used releases of PHP, which means that you won't have to do that every time. In case you have more experience, you're able to take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular site without the need of altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
