Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you wish to protect your custom script, for instance, you can employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function correctly because their core code is usually not free to change. Internet sites that use the tool are typically quicker because their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all servers that are part of our innovative cloud web hosting platform. No matter which web hosting you choose, you'll be able to activate the software tool to ensure that any kind of script app that requires it will work flawlessly within your account. By using a handy software tool from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all of the website hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate many different options with one button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you won't encounter any difficulties. In the exact same section you can also select the PHP version for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, thus any time you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Since our platform allows you to work with several PHP versions at the same time, more advanced users can activate the instrument for a particular site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you will not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since 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. Of course, we've also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular website, but not for the hosting account in general.
