Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is used to encrypt 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 great number of corporations which create paid script applications, so when you purchase such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-built cloud platform and you can use it regardless of the shared hosting plan that you select. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all accounts and it'll take you just several clicks to do that. Due to the fact that we support many different 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 activate Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you have not 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 operated with a point-and-click software instrument, therefore you do not need any coding skills or previous experience. Our hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app that needs Zend Optimizer without any difficulties, yet in case you are not sure what you should do, you can get in touch with our 24/7 tech support team and they will enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated services. It's available on our revolutionary cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app that you wish to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also change the PHP release that your hosting account uses. For each new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used versions of PHP, therefore you won't need to do that every time. In case you have more experience, you're able to take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
