Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom script, for instance, you're able to take advantage of 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 applications, in particular ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to work effectively because their core code is generally not free to change. Websites which use the instrument are often speedier since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

If you obtain a Linux web hosting from us, you will be able to choose the PHP release, which will be active for your account based on what your script applications need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section 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. When you go to this area, you're able to use a compact software tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, so you won't need any previous experience since enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the necessary code in a specific domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you're able to contact our tech support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do that. When you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, so you will not need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set both 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 specific site, but not for the web hosting account in general.
