Many licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have protected code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it is widespread as it can be used to alter any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encrypted files to work effectively on a web server after that is if an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you'd like to employ any kind of paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your site. In addition, websites which require the tool tend to perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more rapidly.
Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting
Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers which are a part of our innovative cloud hosting platform. No matter which cloud website hosting you obtain, you'll be able to take advantage of the software instrument so that any kind of script application that requires it will function flawlessly in your account. Using a handy 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 many different options with a button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your first hosting account ever, you won't have any troubles. In the same area you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, and each time you change to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. As our platform enables you to use a couple of PHP versions at the same time, more advanced users can activate the tool for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do this. After you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't have to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you will need to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the possibility for more experienced users to set both the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
