Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of corporations which make paid script applications, so when you get such an application for your site, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

When you purchase a shared hosting plan from us, you're able to choose the PHP release, that will be active for the account depending on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you're able to employ a compact tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, which means that you will not need any kind of previous experience since activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More experienced users will be able to do the same by adding a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the tool, you're able to contact our tech support crew anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans. It's installed on our innovative cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app which you'd like to use requires it to work, you just need to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also switch the PHP version that your hosting account uses. For each and every new version which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you won't need to do this each time. If you have more experience, you're able to take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular site without altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
