Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you would like to protect your custom script, for instance, you'll be able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Various ready-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to operate correctly because their core code is generally not free to change. Websites which use the instrument are typically faster because their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is accessible on our custom-built cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the cloud website hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the accounts and it will take you as little as several clicks to do that. Because we support numerous versions 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 enable Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you haven't 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 handled with a point-and-click software instrument, therefore you will not need any programming skills or previous practical experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app which requires Zend Optimizer without any difficulties, still when you're not sure what you should do, you are able to contact our 24/7 technical support crew and they will enable the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we offer and it takes only a couple of clicks to do this. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should go to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, which means that you do not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP release for your account through the very same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we've also left the possibility for more experienced 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 particular website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
