Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed 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 many companies that develop paid script apps, so in case you get such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers that are a part of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which shared website hosting you pick, you will be able to activate the tool to ensure that any kind of script application which needs it will work perfectly within your account. By using a convenient tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate different options with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this is your very first hosting account ever, you will not experience any troubles. In the same section you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, so whenever you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Since our platform enables you to take advantage of several PHP releases at once, more experienced users can enable the instrument for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do that. Once you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is among these options, so you don't need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version as well as 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 particular website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
