Lots of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected program code, which isn't human readable. The concept behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is named Zend Guard and it's used widely because it can be used to modify any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the protected files to run efficiently on a web server subsequently is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. When you wish to work with any paid web software that needs Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it's installed on the server where you will host your website. Also, sites that need the tool will perform better since their code is already precompiled and optimized, and therefore it is executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers that are part of our innovative cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which cloud website hosting plan you get, you can take advantage of the software instrument to ensure that any script app which needs it will function properly within your account. By using a handy software instrument in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all the web hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate various settings with a button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your first hosting account ever, you won't experience any problems. In the very same section you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, which means that whenever you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform allows you to employ multiple PHP versions at the same time, more experienced users can activate the instrument for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
