Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you wish to protect your custom script, for example, you'll be able to take advantage of 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. A large number of pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to operate efficiently since their core code is generally not free to modify. Websites which use the instrument are typically quicker as their program code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

When you obtain a Linux web hosting plan through us, you are able to pick the PHP version, that will be active for your account according to what your script apps require. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you're able to employ a compact tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous knowledge considering that enabling Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. If you need any help to activate the tool, you will be able to contact our technical support team anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP version for your account from the same section, you will have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific website, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
