Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application 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 program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many organizations that make paid script applications, so in case you get such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers which are a part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of which Linux hosting you select, you can use the instrument to guarantee that any kind of script app which requires it will operate flawlessly within your account. Using a convenient software tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the web hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate a variety of settings with a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your first website hosting account ever, you won't experience any problems. In the same area you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, which means that each time you switch to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Because our platform enables you to use a couple of PHP releases simultaneously, more advanced users can enable the tool for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans. It is installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app that you need to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also switch the PHP version which your hosting account uses. For each new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used releases of PHP, which means that you will not need to do this each and every time. In the event that you have more experience, you are able to take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a specific site without altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
