Numerous licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have protected code, which is not human readable. The idea behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the illegal use of such apps. Among the most popular encryption software instruments used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it is widespread due to the fact that it can be used to change any kind of PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run the right way on a web server subsequently is when another tool called Zend Optimizer is there. When you wish to employ any type of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it is set up on the server where you will host your site. In addition, sites which need the instrument will perform better due to the fact that their program code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer can be found on our custom-made cloud platform and you are able to use it regardless of the shared web hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all the accounts and it will take you only a few clicks to do this. Due to the fact that we support several different releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you'll need to activate Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you haven't used so far. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click software tool, so you don't need any coding skills or previous experience. Our hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer without troubles, still if you are not sure what to do, you can get in touch with our 24/7 tech support team and they can enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we supply and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. Once you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you will not have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. In addition, we have 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 particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this particular website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
