Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known 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 number of organizations that create paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer can be found on our in-house made cloud platform and you are able to use it regardless of the cloud web hosting plan that you select. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the accounts and it will take you only several clicks to do that. Considering that we support several different versions of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you will need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you haven't used yet. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click software instrument, so you don't need any kind of programming skills or previous expertise. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app that requires Zend Optimizer without any difficulties, yet in case you are unsure what you should do, you are able to contact our 24/7 technical support crew and they will activate the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we supply and it'll take you just a few clicks to do that. When you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you can find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, so you do not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Because you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set both the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific site, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
