Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4 and PHP 5 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom script, for example, you will be able to use Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. Various pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to work efficiently because their core code is generally not free to modify. Sites which use the instrument are often speedier as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all servers that are a part of our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which shared hosting service you choose, you can activate the software instrument so that any script application which needs it will function perfectly as part of your account. By using a handy software instrument in 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 many different settings with just a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your first web hosting account ever, you will not encounter any difficulties. In the same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, and whenever you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. As our platform allows you to take advantage of multiple 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.
