Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you would like to protect your custom-made script, for example, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to work efficiently as their core code is ordinarily not free to modify. Internet sites which use the instrument are typically quicker because their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

When you get a Linux shared web hosting from our company, you can pick the PHP release, that will be active for your account depending on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you can use a small tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you won't need any previous knowledge as activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you can contact our tech support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it takes just a couple of clicks to do that. When you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should go to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you will need to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Furthermore, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific website, but not for the web hosting account in general.
