Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of companies which create paid script apps, so when you purchase such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers which are a part of our innovative cloud hosting platform. No matter which shared hosting service you select, you can take advantage of the instrument so that any script app which needs it will work perfectly as part of your account. By using a handy instrument from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate many different options with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your first hosting account ever, you will not have any troubles. In the very same area you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, thus whenever you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform allows you to take advantage of multiple PHP versions at the same time, more advanced users can activate the tool for a specific site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do this. When you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you won't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP version for your account from the same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set 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 particular site, but not for the web hosting account in general.
