Numerous licensed and some cost-free script-driven apps have encoded code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering as well as the not authorized usage of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption 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 alter any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the encrypted files to run effectively on a web server subsequently is if another instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. When you would like to work with any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your website. In addition, websites that require the tool generally perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it's executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

If you purchase a Linux shared website hosting from our company, you'll be able to select the PHP version, that will be active for your account based on what your script apps require. You can activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this area, you are able to employ a compact tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you won't need any kind of previous experience because activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you'll be able to contact our technical support crew anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you need to head to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you do not have to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we have also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set both the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
