Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you need to protect your custom script, for instance, you will be able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various ready-made script-driven apps, particularly ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work properly as their core code is generally not free to modify. Sites which use the instrument are typically speedier since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all the servers that are a part of our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform. No matter which Linux web hosting package you acquire, you will be able to activate the software instrument to guarantee that any script app which needs it will operate perfectly in your account. By using a handy 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 different settings with just a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this is your first web hosting account ever, you will not experience any difficulties. In the exact same section you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, which means that each time you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Since our platform allows you to work with a couple of PHP versions simultaneously, more experienced users can enable the tool for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
