Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is used 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 number of companies which create paid script applications, so if you buy such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients won't be able to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

All web hosting accounts that we offer are set up on our cutting-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all servers which are part of the clusters. Therefore, you're able to set up and execute script-driven apps which need Zend whatever the package that you pick upon signup. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel that comes with the accounts shall make the control over your web presence a breeze and enabling Zend Optimizer makes no exception due to the fact that it'll take just a single click to do it. In addition, more experienced users can also put a php.ini file in a particular domain folder and activate Zend just for a specific domain. Since you can switch between a variety of PHP versions, you'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer for them in exactly the same way and run both new and older applications in the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. When you log 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 all of them. Zend is among these options, which means that you will not have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account from the same section, you'll need to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this particular website, but not for the web hosting account in general.
