Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you would like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you are 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 number of pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work properly because their core code is often not free to modify. Websites which use the tool are often speedier since their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers which are a part of our modern cloud website hosting platform. No matter which Linux shared website hosting you acquire, you can use the software tool to guarantee that any kind of script app which needs it will work perfectly as part of your account. Using a convenient software tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the website hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate different settings with a button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this is your first web hosting account ever, you will not experience any troubles. In the same area you can also pick the PHP release for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, which means that each time you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. As our platform allows you to work with a couple of PHP versions at once, more experienced users can activate the tool for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we offer and it takes only a few clicks to do this. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you won't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you will have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, 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 particular website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
