Lots of licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have encoded code, which isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unauthorized use of such applications. One of the most popular encryption instruments used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it's popular because it can be used to alter all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to work the right way on a web server after that is if another instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. When you want to employ any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's set up on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, websites that require the tool tend to perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

Zend Optimizer comes with all the servers which are part of our advanced cloud hosting platform. No matter which Linux hosting you choose, you will be able to activate the software tool so that any script app that needs it will function flawlessly as part of your account. By using a convenient instrument from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the web hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate various functions with just a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your first web hosting account ever, you will not encounter any issues. In the exact same section you can also choose the PHP release for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, thus any time you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Because our platform enables you to use multiple PHP versions at once, more experienced users can enable the instrument for a specific 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 of our semi-dedicated hosting. It's installed on our innovative cloud platform, so if any script-driven app that you would like to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also change the PHP release that your hosting account uses. For every new version that you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia will remember your choice for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you will not need to do this each time. If you have more experience, you are able to take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a specific domain name without the need of altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
