Plenty of licensed and some free script-driven apps have encoded program code, which is not human readable. The concept behind this is to stop the reverse engineering as well as the unauthorized use of such apps. One of the most popular file encryption tools used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it is used widely due to the fact that it can be used to change any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to work efficiently on a web server subsequently is if a second instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. In case you'd like to work with any paid web software which requires Zend Optimizer, you need to ensure that it is installed on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, sites that require the tool tend to perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer comes with all servers which are a part of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which shared website hosting you pick, you can take advantage of the software tool to guarantee that any kind of script app that requires it will function perfectly within your account. By using a handy tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all the website hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate a variety of options with a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your first web hosting account ever, you will not encounter any issues. In the very same area you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, and whenever you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. As our platform enables you to employ several PHP versions at the same time, more experienced users can enable the instrument for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
