Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application which is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of corporations that create paid script apps, so in case you buy such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your code and make sure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to change it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

All of the shared website hosting accounts which we offer are set up on our cutting-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all servers which are part of the clusters. Therefore, you'll be able to set up and execute script-driven applications that require Zend regardless of the plan that you select upon signup. The intuitive Hepsia Control Panel that is featured with the accounts will make the management of your online presence very easy and enabling Zend Optimizer makes no exception since it will take a single click to do this. Furthermore, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a specific domain folder and take advantage of Zend just for a particular domain name. As you can switch between a variety of PHP releases, you'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer for any of them in the very same way and manage both new and older apps from the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you just a few clicks to do that. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you will find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is among these options, so you don't have to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular site, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
