Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations that develop paid script applications, so when you acquire such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.
Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting
Zend Optimizer is installed on all servers that are a part of our modern cloud hosting platform. No matter which web hosting you obtain, you will be able to activate the software instrument to ensure that any kind of script application which requires it will work flawlessly as part of your account. Using a convenient software instrument in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate different functions with one button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you won't have any problems. In the same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, thus any time you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Since our platform enables you to work with a couple of PHP releases at the same time, more experienced users can enable the instrument for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
We offer Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. It's installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, so if any script-driven application that you need to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also switch the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For any new release which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used versions of PHP, so you will not need to do this each time. If you have more experience, you are able to benefit from the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular website without the need of altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
