Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that's required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous corporations that create paid script applications, so when you acquire such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers that are a part of our revolutionary cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of which website hosting package you acquire, you'll be able to activate the instrument to guarantee that any kind of script application that needs it will operate perfectly as part of your account. Using a convenient instrument from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate different settings with a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you won't experience any issues. In the same area you can also choose the PHP release for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, which means that any time you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click. As our platform enables you to use several PHP releases simultaneously, more experienced users can activate the tool for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do that. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is among these options, so you don't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP version for your account through the very 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 both the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this particular website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
