Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many corporations that make paid script applications, so when you get such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to change it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud hosting through our company, you can pick the PHP release, that will be active for the account based on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you will be able to take advantage of a small software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, which means that you will not need any kind of previous experience considering that activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the required program code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the tool, you are able to contact our tech support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We offer Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. It is available on our avant-garde cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven application which you need to use requires it to function, you just have to activate it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also change the PHP version which your website hosting account uses. For each and every new release which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used releases of PHP, so you will not need to do this each and every time. In the event that you have more experience, you can take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file to set a different PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific domain without altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
