Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you wish to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you will be able to use Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A number of ready-made script-driven apps, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to function correctly as their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites that use the instrument are often faster since their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

When you obtain a Linux shared hosting from our company, you can select the PHP version, that will be active for the account according to what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you will be able to use a compact software tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous experience as enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any assistance to activate the tool, you can contact our technical support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We offer Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. It is present on our avant-garde cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven application which you want to use requires it to function, you just need to enable it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also change the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For each new release that 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, therefore you will not need to do that every time. In the event that you have more experience, you'll be able to benefit from the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file to set another PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular site without altering the overall settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
