Many licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have encrypted program code, that is not human readable. The concept behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unauthorized usage of such applications. One of the most popular encryption tools used for this particular purpose is known as Zend Guard and it's widely used since it can be used to change any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to work effectively on a web server after that is when a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is available. In case you would like to employ any type of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. Also, sites which need the tool usually perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more rapidly.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
All of the shared hosting accounts which we offer are set up on our leading-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is set up on all of the servers which are part of the clusters. As a result, you're able to install and execute script-driven applications that need Zend regardless of the plan that you choose upon registration. The intuitive Hepsia Control Panel that comes with the accounts will make the management of your world wide web presence a breeze and enabling Zend Optimizer is not an exception as it'll take just a single click to do this. Furthermore, more experienced users can also put a php.ini file in a particular domain folder and enable Zend just for a specific domain name. As you can switch between a number of PHP releases, you'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer for any of them in exactly the same way and manage both new and older applications from the same account.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do that. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you will find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you won't need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the same section, you will need to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version 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 just for this particular website, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
