Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations that develop paid script applications, so in case you acquire such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

If you get a hosting through us, you have the option to select the PHP version, which will be active for your account based on what your script apps need. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you can employ a small 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, which means that you won't need any kind of previous knowledge since enabling Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you are able to contact our technical support crew anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our semi-dedicated servers. It's present on our revolutionary cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven app that you would like to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also switch the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For any new version that you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your choice for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you will not need to do that each and every time. If you have more experience, you're able to benefit from the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP version and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular site without altering the overall settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
