Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you want to protect your custom script, for example, you'll be able to use Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Many pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to function correctly since their core code is often not free to modify. Sites which use the tool are often quicker as their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

All cloud website hosting accounts that we offer are created on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is installed on all of the servers that are part of the clusters. Consequently, you are able to set up and run script-driven apps that require Zend regardless of the plan that you choose upon registration. The easy to navigate Hepsia Control Panel that is featured with the accounts shall make the control over your world wide web presence a breeze and enabling Zend Optimizer makes no exception since it'll take only a single click to do it. Furthermore, more experienced users can also put a php.ini file in a specific domain folder and use Zend only for a particular domain. Since you can switch between a number of different PHP versions, you will be able to activate Zend Optimizer for any of them in the very same way and run both new and older applications within the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it takes only a few clicks to do that. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you need to visit the PHP Configuration section where you will find many different options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you will not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Furthermore, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set the PHP version 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 web hosting account in general.
