Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of organizations which create paid script apps, so if you get such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

When you acquire a Linux shared website hosting through us, you will be able to choose the PHP release, which will be active for your account according to what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you're able to use a compact software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any kind of previous knowledge as enabling Zend Optimizer will be as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users will be able to do the same by adding a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you can contact our technical support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we offer and it takes only a couple of clicks to do this. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should visit the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you don't have to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you'll have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific website, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
