Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you'd like to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you're able to employ Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Countless ready-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to work effectively since their core code is often not free to modify. Internet sites that use the instrument are generally quicker because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
When you obtain a shared hosting through us, you will be able to select the PHP version, which will be active for the account based on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you are able to use a small tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, so you won't need any previous knowledge because activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the necessary code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you're able to contact our technical support team at any time.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We have installed Zend Optimizer on all the servers which are part of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform and since all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you can activate and employ Zend for any script application that you wish to use with no more than a click. You may also select the PHP release that will be active for your account, so if you switch to a new release, you only have to go to the Advanced part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and click on the On button for Zend Optimizer - it is as simple as that. If you change the version back, Zend will already be active. More experienced users will also have the opportunity to set the PHP release and to activate Zend Optimizer only for a single site by placing a php.ini file with the needed program code inside the corresponding domain folder.
