Many licensed and some free of charge script-driven apps have encoded code, that isn't human readable. The idea behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the illegal use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this specific purpose is called Zend Guard and it's widespread due to the fact that it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encrypted files to run efficiently on a web server after that is if another instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. In the event that you want to work with any type of paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you need to make sure that it's installed on the server where you will host your site. Also, websites which require the instrument tend to perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

When you obtain a Linux hosting service through our company, you'll be able to select the PHP release, that will be active for the account based on what your script apps need. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you are able to employ a small software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous experience as activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the tool, you are able to contact our tech support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do that. Once you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to visit the PHP Configuration section where you can find various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you'll have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. In addition, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set the PHP release 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 specific website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
