Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of organizations which create paid script applications, so in case you get such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
When you buy a website hosting through our company, you are able to select the PHP release, which will be active for your account depending on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you'll be able to use a compact tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you will not need any kind of previous knowledge since activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you're able to contact our technical support team at any time.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We provide Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated servers. It's installed on our revolutionary cloud platform, so if any script-driven application that you'd like to use requires it to work, you just need to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also switch the PHP release that your web hosting account uses. For each and every new version which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used releases of PHP, which means that you will not have to do that each and every time. In the event that you have more experience, you're able to benefit from the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific domain without the need of altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
