A lot of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the illegal usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption software tools used for this specific purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's used widely because it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to work effectively on a web server afterwards is if a second tool called Zend Optimizer is present. In the event that you want to use any type of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your site. In addition, websites which require the instrument generally perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more rapidly.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting
Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers that are part of our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform. No matter which Linux shared website hosting you acquire, you will be able to activate the instrument to ensure that any script application which needs it will operate properly as part of your account. Using a handy instrument in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate different settings with a button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this happens to be your first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any troubles. In the very same area you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, which means that whenever you switch to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. As our platform enables you to employ a couple of PHP releases at the same time, more experienced users can enable the instrument for a particular site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
We offer Zend Optimizer with all of our semi-dedicated hosting. It's installed on our revolutionary cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven application that you want to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also switch the PHP release that your hosting account uses. For every new release 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, which means that you will not need to do this each and every time. In the event that you have more experience, you are able to take full advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP version and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular site without altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
