Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of corporations that make paid script applications, so in case you buy such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer can be found on our in-house built cloud platform and you're able to use it regardless of the shared hosting package that you choose. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all of the accounts and it will take you only several clicks to do that. Considering that 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 need to enable Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used so far. This is really easy though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software instrument, so you do not need any kind of computer programming skills or previous practical experience. Our website hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app that needs Zend Optimizer without any troubles, yet in case you are unsure how to proceed, you'll be able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they can enable the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do this. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you will not have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP release for your account from the same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we've also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular site, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
