Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by many organizations which create paid script applications, so when you buy such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting

If you obtain a cloud web hosting service from us, you have the option to pick the PHP release, which will be active for your account based 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 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 section, you'll be able to employ a compact tool which will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, therefore you will not need any previous experience considering that enabling Zend Optimizer will be as easy as clicking a button. More experienced users will be able to do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the needed program code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the tool, you are able to contact our technical support team anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we offer and it will take you only a few clicks to do that. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you need to visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you don't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
