Plenty of licensed and some free of charge script-driven applications have encrypted code, that isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such applications. Among the most popular file encryption tools used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it is very popular due to the fact that it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only way for the protected files to work effectively on a web server after that is if an additional tool called Zend Optimizer is available. When you'd like to work with any paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you should make sure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, websites which need the instrument will perform better due to the fact that their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it is executed more rapidly.

All the shared hosting accounts that we offer are created on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all servers that are a part of the clusters. As a result, you'll be able to install and execute script-driven apps that need Zend regardless of the plan that you select upon signup. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with the accounts will make the control over your world wide web presence very easy and enabling Zend Optimizer makes no exception because it'll take just a single click to do it.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We've installed Zend Optimizer on all servers which are part of our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and since all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you'll be able to enable and use Zend for any kind of script application that you wish to use with just a single click.

In case you switch the version back, Zend will already be active. More tech-savvy users will also have the opportunity to set the PHP release and to activate Zend Optimizer only for a separate website by putting a php.ini file with the needed code inside the corresponding domain folder.
