Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of corporations which make paid script apps, so when you acquire such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers that are a part of our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which shared website hosting you choose, you can activate the software instrument to ensure that any kind of script app that requires it will work flawlessly within your account. By using a handy software tool in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the web hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate a variety of options with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your very first web hosting account ever, you won't experience any troubles. In the same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, therefore whenever you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. As our platform enables you to take advantage of multiple PHP versions at once, more experienced users can enable the tool for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We offer Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated plans. It's installed on our avant-garde cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven app which you want to use requires it to function, you just have to activate it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also change the PHP version which your web hosting account uses. For each and every new version which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia will remember your choice for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you will not have to do that each and every time. In case you have more experience, you are able to take full advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular website without altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
