Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is used 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 large number of companies which create paid script applications, so if you obtain such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

When you purchase a Linux shared hosting package through us, you're able to select the PHP release, which will be active for the account depending on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this area, you can employ a small software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any kind of previous experience because enabling Zend Optimizer will be as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the tool, you're able to contact our technical support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated packages. It is present on our avant-garde cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app that you would like to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also change the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For each and every new version which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used releases of PHP, which means that you won't need to do this each and every time. If you have more experience, you'll be able to take full advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a specific domain without the need of altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
