Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you would like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A lot of ready-made script-driven apps, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function correctly as their core code is often not free to modify. Internet sites that use the tool are normally faster since their program code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

When you get a Linux shared web hosting service through our company, you will be able to pick the PHP release, which will be active for your account depending on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this area, you're able to take advantage of a compact software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you will not need any kind of previous knowledge since activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the required program code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the tool, you can contact our technical support crew at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you only a few clicks to do that. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to visit the PHP Configuration section where you can find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you do not need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP release for your account through the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing 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 as a whole.
