Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application which is used 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 a large number of organizations that develop paid script apps, so in case you get such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

If you get a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you have the option to choose the PHP version, that will be active for your account depending on what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 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 manage the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, so you will not need any kind of previous experience considering that activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the required program code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any assistance to activate the tool, you are able to contact our technical support team anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We offer Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans. It is installed on our revolutionary cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven application that you want to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also switch the PHP version that your web hosting account uses. For each new version that you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you will not have to do this each time. In case you have more experience, you're able to take advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular domain name without altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
