Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is used 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 number of companies that create paid script applications, so when you buy such an application for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

All the cloud hosting accounts which we provide are created on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all the servers that are a part of the clusters. Consequently, you can install and execute script-driven applications that require Zend irrespective of the plan that you choose upon registration. The user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel that comes with the accounts will make the control over your web presence very simple and enabling Zend Optimizer is not an exception because it will take only a single click to do it. Furthermore, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a particular domain folder and take advantage of Zend only for a particular domain name. Because you can switch between many different PHP versions, you'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer for them in exactly the same way and run both new and older applications from the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You can enable Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it will take you just a couple of clicks to do this. Once you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you don't need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you'll have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. In addition, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
