Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of companies that make paid script applications, so if you get such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

All the website hosting accounts that we provide are generated on our cutting-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers that are a part of the clusters. Consequently, you're able to install and execute script-driven applications which need Zend whatever the plan that you select upon registration. The easy to navigate Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with the accounts will make the management of your world wide web presence very simple and enabling Zend Optimizer makes no exception due to the fact that it'll take just a single click to do it. Of course, more experienced users can also put a php.ini file in a given domain folder and take advantage of Zend only for a specific domain. Since you can switch between a variety of PHP versions, you can activate Zend Optimizer for them in exactly the same way and run both new and older applications from the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You are able to enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do that. After you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is one of these options, so you won't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP release for your account through the same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP release 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 only for this specific site, but not for the hosting account in general.
