Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you want to protect your custom-made script, for example, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A number of ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to work correctly because their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are often faster as their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom cloud platform and you can use it regardless of the shared hosting package that you choose. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all accounts and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. Given that we support a number of different releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you'll have to activate Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you have not used so far. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click tool, therefore you do not need any kind of coding skills or previous experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer without any difficulties, but if you are unsure what to do, you can get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they'll enable the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We have installed Zend Optimizer on all of the servers that are part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform and due to the fact that all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you will be able to enable and take advantage of Zend for any kind of script app that you wish to use with just a single click. You may also pick the PHP release which will be active for your account, thus if you switch to a new version, you just need to go to the Advanced section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and click on the On button for Zend Optimizer - it is as easy as that. If you change the version back, Zend will already be active. More tech-savvy users will also have the opportunity to set the PHP release and to activate Zend Optimizer just for a single website by putting a php.ini file with the required program code inside the corresponding domain folder.
