Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed to encrypt 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 great number of companies that make paid script applications, so when you get such an application for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

If you obtain a shared website hosting through us, you have the option to pick the PHP version, that will be active for your account based on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you're able to use a small tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, so you won't need any kind of previous experience since activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you will be able to contact our technical support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We offer Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans. It's available on our innovative cloud platform, so if any script-driven app which you wish to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also change the PHP version which your website hosting account uses. For every new release which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used versions of PHP, therefore you will not need to do that every time. In the event that you have more experience, you'll be able to take full advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set another PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a specific domain without altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
