Many licensed and some free script-driven applications have encoded program code, which isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it's popular due to the fact that it can be used to alter any type of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the encoded files to run the right way on a web server after that is when an additional instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. If you'd like to work with any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Also, websites that require the tool will perform better as their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

All the hosting accounts that we provide are generated on our leading-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all the servers which are a part of the clusters. For that reason, you're able to set up and execute script-driven apps which need Zend irrespective of the package that you select upon registration. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel that is featured with the accounts will make the management of your world wide web presence very easy and activating Zend Optimizer is not an exception as it'll take a single click to do it. Furthermore, more experienced users can also place a php.ini file in a specific domain folder and use Zend only for a particular domain. Since you can switch between numerous PHP releases, you will be able to activate Zend Optimizer for all of them in exactly the same way and run both new and older applications in the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do this. When you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you do not need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we have also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set both the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific website, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
