Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you'd like to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you are able to use Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A number of pre-made script-driven apps, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to function effectively as their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites which use the instrument are typically quicker as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase a cloud hosting plan from us, you're able to select the PHP release, that will be active for your account depending on what your script applications require. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you are able to use a small tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, so you will not need any previous knowledge considering that enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More skilled 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. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you will be able to contact our tech support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We offer Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated plans. It's available on our avant-garde cloud platform, so if any script-driven application which you would like to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also switch the PHP release that your website hosting account uses. For any new version which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used releases of PHP, which means that you won't have to do this every time. In case you have more experience, you can take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
