Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encode 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 numerous organizations which make paid script apps, so in case you purchase such an application for your website, you'll 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 site visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux shared web hosting service from us, you will be able to select the PHP release, which will be active for your account based on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this area, you will be able to employ a small software tool which will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous knowledge as activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the tool, you're able to contact our tech support crew anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we supply and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do that. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you will find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, so you will not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you'll have to activate Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
