Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A number of ready-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to operate correctly because their core code is often not free to change. Websites that use the tool are normally speedier since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our tailor-made cloud platform and you are able to use it regardless of the cloud website hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all accounts and it'll take you as little as a couple of clicks to do this. Due to the fact that we support numerous releases 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 enable Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is quite simple 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 will not need any coding skills or previous experience. Our hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app that requires Zend Optimizer without difficulties, still if you're unsure what to do, you'll be able to get in touch with our 24/7 tech support crew and they will activate the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you can find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you don't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version and 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 website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
