Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of corporations which develop paid script apps, so in case you obtain such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

When you get a hosting from our company, you have the option to choose the PHP version, which will be active for your account based on what your script applications require. You can activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you'll be able to take advantage of a compact software tool which will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any previous knowledge as enabling Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users will be able to do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the necessary program code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the tool, you are able to contact our technical support crew anytime.

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated servers. It's installed on our revolutionary cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven app that you need to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel.
