Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is used 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 lots of organizations which make paid script apps, so in case you acquire such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all servers that are a part of our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. No matter which cloud hosting you pick, you'll be able to activate the software instrument so that any script application which needs it will work properly as part of your account. By using a handy instrument from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the web hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate various functions with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first hosting account ever, you will not have any problems. In the very same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, and each time you move to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Since our platform allows you to use multiple PHP versions at the same time, more advanced users can enable the tool for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our semi-dedicated service. It is installed on our revolutionary cloud platform, so if any script-driven app which you would like to use requires it to work, you just have to enable it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also switch the PHP release that your hosting account uses. For each new version that you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia will remember your choice for previously used releases of PHP, so you will not need to do that every time. If you have more experience, you can take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file to set another PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a particular domain without the need of altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
