Lots of licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have encoded code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unwanted usage of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software instruments used for this purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's widespread because it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encoded files to work properly on a web server subsequently is when one more tool called Zend Optimizer is available. When you wish to work with any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it is set up on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, websites which require the tool can perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
All the hosting accounts which we provide are generated on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all the servers which are a part of the clusters. As a result, you'll be able to install and execute script-driven applications which need Zend whatever the package that you select upon signup. The easy to navigate Hepsia Control Panel that is included with the accounts will make the control over your web presence a breeze and activating Zend Optimizer is not an exception since it will take only a single click to do this. In addition, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a specific domain folder and take advantage of Zend only for a particular domain. Because you can switch between a number of different PHP versions, you will be able to enable Zend Optimizer for any of them in the very same way and run both new and older applications from the same account.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a few clicks to do that. Once you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to head to the PHP Configuration section where you can find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is among these options, so you do not have to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular site, but not for the hosting account in general.
