A lot of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encrypted program code, that isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the illegal usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it's used widely due to the fact that it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to run effectively on a web server afterwards is when another tool called Zend Optimizer is present. When you'd like to use any type of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you have to make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. Furthermore, websites which require the instrument will perform better because their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

All of the hosting accounts which we offer are generated on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers which are a part of the clusters. As a result, you'll be able to set up and execute script-driven applications which need Zend regardless of the plan that you choose upon signup. The intuitive Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with the accounts shall make the control over your web presence very easy and activating Zend Optimizer makes no exception due to the fact that it'll take only a single click to do it. Furthermore, more experienced users can also place a php.ini file in a particular domain folder and use Zend just for a particular domain name. Because you can switch between many different PHP versions, you will be able to enable Zend Optimizer for all of them in the very same way and run both new and older apps within the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we supply and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do this. Once you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you won't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP release for your account through the same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set 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 only for this specific site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
