Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of organizations which make paid script apps, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all servers that are a part of our advanced cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which website hosting you pick, you will be able to activate the software instrument so that any kind of script application that needs it will function perfectly in your account. Using a handy software instrument from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate various options with one button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this is your very first website hosting account ever, you won't experience any issues. In the exact same area you can also pick the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, which means that whenever you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. As our platform allows you to use multiple PHP versions at once, more advanced users can activate the instrument for an individual site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you just a few clicks to do that. When you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to visit the PHP Configuration section where you will find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is among these options, so you will not need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Because you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you will need to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Furthermore, we have also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set both the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific site, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
