Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected program code, which is not human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it's used widely because it can be used to modify any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encrypted files to work properly on a web server subsequently is if another tool called Zend Optimizer is there. In case you'd like to employ any paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Furthermore, sites that need the instrument tend to perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all servers which are a part of our revolutionary cloud website hosting platform. No matter which shared website hosting plan you select, you'll be able to take advantage of the software tool so that any script application that requires it will function properly within your account. By using a handy tool in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the web hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate various options with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you won't have any problems. In the exact same area you can also pick the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, and each time you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Because our platform enables you to take advantage of several PHP releases simultaneously, more advanced users can activate the tool for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We offer Zend Optimizer with all of our semi-dedicated plans. It is available on our innovative cloud platform, so if any script-driven application which you need to use requires it to function, you just need to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also change the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For any new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used releases of PHP, so you will not have to do that each and every time. In the event that you have more experience, you can take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file to set a different PHP version and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular site without altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
