Plenty of licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have encoded program code, that is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the not authorized usage of such apps. Among the most popular file encryption instruments used for this specific purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is commonly used due to the fact that it can be used to modify any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to work the right way on a web server afterwards is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. When you would like to use any paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. Furthermore, websites which require the instrument will perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all servers that are a part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. No matter which web hosting you select, you can take advantage of the tool to ensure that any kind of script application which requires it will function perfectly as part of your account. Using a handy tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate a variety of functions with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your very first website hosting account ever, you will not experience any issues. In the same section you can also pick the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, and whenever you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform enables you to take advantage of a couple of PHP releases simultaneously, more experienced users can activate the instrument for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated hosting. It's installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven application which you would like to use requires it to work, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also change the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For each new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used versions of PHP, so you will not have to do this each 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 in order to set another PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular domain without altering the overall settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
