Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you wish to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you can employ 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 site. A lot of pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work effectively because their core code is often not free to change. Sites which use the instrument are typically speedier as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

When you buy a Linux website hosting service from us, you will be able to select the PHP version, which will be active for the account depending on what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this area, you can take advantage of a compact tool which will allow you to control the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any kind of previous experience considering that activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the tool, you are able to contact our tech support crew anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it will take you just a few clicks to do this. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you do not have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we've also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific site, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
