Plenty of licensed and some free of cost script-driven applications have encoded code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to avoid the reverse engineering and the unauthorized use of such apps. Among the most popular file encryption instruments used for this specific purpose is named Zend Guard and it is very popular as it can be used to modify any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encrypted files to work effectively on a web server after that is when a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. In case you wish to use any paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, websites that require the instrument generally perform better as their program code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed more quickly.

All cloud web hosting accounts that we provide are generated on our cutting-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is set up on all of the servers which are part of the clusters. Consequently, you'll be able to set up and run script-driven applications which need Zend whatever the plan that you pick upon registration. The user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel which is included with the accounts will make the management of your web presence a breeze and enabling Zend Optimizer is not an exception due to the fact that it will take only a single click to do it. In addition, more experienced users can also place a php.ini file in a given domain folder and take advantage of Zend just for a particular domain.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We've installed Zend Optimizer on all the servers which are a part of our innovative cloud hosting platform and considering that all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you can activate and employ Zend for any kind of script app that you'd like to use with no more than a single click. You can also select the PHP version which will be active for your account, so if you switch to another release, you only need to go to the Advanced section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and click on the On button for Zend Optimizer - it's as easy as that. If you switch the version back, Zend will already be active. More tech-savvy users will also have the opportunity to set the PHP version and to enable Zend Optimizer just for a single site by putting a php.ini file with the needed program code inside the corresponding domain folder.
