Numerous licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have encoded code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering as well as the unwanted use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it is widespread due to the fact that 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 efficiently on a web server after that is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. If you'd like to use any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. Also, websites that require the tool can perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers which are part of our advanced cloud website hosting platform. No matter which hosting you obtain, you'll be able to take advantage of the tool to ensure that any kind of script app that needs it will work flawlessly within your account. By using a convenient instrument in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all the web hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate a variety of settings with a button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first website hosting account ever, you will not encounter any troubles. In the same area you can also choose the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, therefore whenever you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Because our platform enables you to use multiple PHP versions simultaneously, more experienced users can activate the tool for a specific site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated hosting. It's present on our revolutionary cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven application that you want to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also switch the PHP version that your hosting account uses.
