Numerous licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the not authorized use of such apps. One of the most popular encryption tools used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it is widely used since it can be used to modify any type of 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 when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. In the event that you'd like to use any paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it is installed on the server where you will host your site. Also, sites which require the instrument usually perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer comes with all the servers that are part of our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform. No matter which Linux cloud hosting you pick, you can take advantage of the software tool so that any kind of script app which requires it will function properly within your account. Using a convenient instrument from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate different functions with a button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your very first website hosting account ever, you won't have any issues. In the exact same area you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, thus each time you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Because our platform enables you to employ a couple of PHP versions simultaneously, more advanced users can activate the instrument for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it takes only a couple of clicks to do this. When you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP release for your account through the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set both the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
