Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app 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 a large number of corporations which develop paid script applications, so when you get such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting

When you buy a cloud web hosting through us, you will be able to choose the PHP version, that will be active for your account according to what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you're able to take advantage of a small software tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, so you won't need any kind of previous knowledge considering that enabling Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More experienced 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 will be able to contact our tech support team anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer and it takes just a few clicks to do this. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you will find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you will not need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP version 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 just for this specific website, but not for the web hosting account in general.
