Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies that create paid script apps, so in case you buy such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
If you acquire a Linux website hosting package from us, you have the option to select the PHP release, which will be active for the account based on what your script applications require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you're able to employ a small tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, therefore you will not need any kind of previous experience considering that enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the necessary code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the instrument, you will be able to contact our technical support team at any time.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it takes just a few clicks to do this. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you need to head to the PHP Configuration section where you will find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you do not need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you will have to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we have also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP release 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 only for this specific site, but not for the web hosting account in general.
