Plenty of licensed and some cost-free script-driven applications have encrypted program code, which isn't human readable. The reasoning behind this is to stop the reverse engineering and the unauthorized use of such applications. Among the most popular encryption tools used for this purpose is called Zend Guard and it is widespread as it can be used to modify any PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 code. The only method for the protected files to work efficiently on a web server subsequently is when another instrument called Zend Optimizer is present. If you would like to work with any paid web software requiring Zend Optimizer, you should ensure that it is set up on the server where you will host your website. Also, websites that require the tool will perform better because their code is already precompiled and optimized, meaning that it is executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers which are a part of our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform.

Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your first web hosting account ever, you will not encounter any problems. In the exact same section you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, therefore whenever you move to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform allows you to take advantage of several PHP versions at once, more experienced users can activate the instrument for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
