Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of organizations that make paid script applications, so when you buy such an app for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can 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. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
If you purchase a Linux website hosting package through our company, you'll be able to select the PHP release, which will be active for your account depending on what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you will be able to employ a compact software tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, which means that you will not need any previous experience because enabling Zend Optimizer will be as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you will be able to contact our technical support team at any time.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You are able to enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. Once you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you have to head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is among these options, which means that you won't have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP release for your account from the same section, you will have to activate Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set both 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 just for this particular site, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
