Plenty of licensed and some free of cost script-driven apps have protected code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such applications. One of the most popular file encryption software instruments used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it is used widely as it can be used to change all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to work correctly on a web server afterwards is when one more instrument called Zend Optimizer is there. If you would like to work with any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's installed on the server where you'll host your website. In addition, sites that need the tool tend to perform better due to the fact that their code is already precompiled and optimized, which means that it's executed more quickly.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers which are a part of our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of which hosting plan you get, you'll be able to use the software instrument to ensure that any script application which requires it will operate properly as part of your account. By using a convenient instrument in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all the web hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate many different settings with just a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any difficulties. In the exact same area you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, which means that whenever you move to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. As our platform allows you to use several PHP versions at once, more experienced users can enable the instrument for a specific site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
