Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular 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 organizations which make paid script applications, so in case you buy such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers that are a part of our modern cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of which Linux cloud hosting package you obtain, you can take advantage of the software instrument to ensure that any script app which requires it will function properly in your account. By using a handy tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate a variety of settings with just a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first web hosting account ever, you will not have any problems. In the exact same section you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, therefore any time you move to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. As our platform enables you to use multiple PHP versions at once, more experienced 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 Hosting

You'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. After you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to head to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, so you will not need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the same section, you will need to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set both the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific site, but not for the hosting account in general.
