A lot of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encrypted code, which is not human readable. The reasoning behind this is to prevent the reverse engineering and the unwanted use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption software tools used for this particular purpose is called Zend Guard and it's used widely because it can be used to modify all PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The sole way for the encoded files to run efficiently on a web server after that is when an extra tool called Zend Optimizer is present. If you want to employ any kind of paid web software that requires Zend Optimizer, you have to ensure that it's set up on the server where you will host your website. In addition, sites that need the tool usually perform better since their program code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We offer Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans. It's installed on our avant-garde cloud platform, so if any script-driven application that you need to use requires it to work, you just have to activate it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also change the PHP version that your website hosting account uses.

Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used versions of PHP, so you will not need to do that every time. In the event that you have more experience, you're able to take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific domain name without the need of altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
