Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app 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 great number of companies which make paid script apps, so when you acquire such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

All cloud website hosting accounts which we provide are set up on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is installed on all of the servers that are a part of the clusters. As a result, you can install and execute script-driven apps which require Zend irrespective of the plan that you pick upon registration. The user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel that is featured with the accounts will make the control over your web presence very easy and activating Zend Optimizer is not an exception since it'll take only a single click to do it. Of course, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a given domain folder and enable Zend only for a particular domain name. As you can switch between a number of different PHP versions, you can activate Zend Optimizer for them in exactly the same way and manage both new and older applications from the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we offer and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do this. When you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you don't have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we have also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular site, but not for the website hosting account in general.
