Plenty of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encoded code, which isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted use of such apps. One of the most popular encryption software instruments used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it's popular because it can be used to modify any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to work effectively on a web server subsequently is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. When you'd like to work with any paid web software which needs Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your site. In addition, websites which need the tool generally perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it's executed more rapidly.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all the servers that are a part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of which Linux shared hosting you get, you can use the tool so that any script application which requires it will operate perfectly in your account. Using a handy software tool in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate various functions with a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this is your very first website hosting account ever, you won't experience any troubles. In the exact same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, and each time you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Since our platform allows you to employ several PHP releases at once, more experienced 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
We provide Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans. It's installed on our avant-garde cloud platform, so if any script-driven application that you want to use requires it to function, you just need to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also change the PHP version that your website 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 remembers your choice for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you will not need to do this every time. If you have more experience, you're able to take advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular website without altering the overall settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
