Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app which is employed to encrypt 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 number of companies that develop paid script applications, so when you purchase such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can 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 generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting
Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers that are part of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform. No matter which Linux cloud web hosting you select, you can take advantage of the software tool to ensure that any kind of script app which needs it will work properly within your account. Using a handy instrument from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the website hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate a variety of settings with a button. Zend Optimizer is one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any problems. In the exact same area you can also choose the PHP release for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, which means that any time you move to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Since our platform enables you to work with a couple of PHP releases at once, more advanced users can enable the tool for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. When you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to go to the PHP Configuration section where you will find various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you won't need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set both 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.
