Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned 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. In case you'd like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. Numerous pre-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to function properly since their core code is generally not free to change. Sites that use the tool are generally quicker since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

When you acquire a Linux shared hosting through our company, you'll be able to pick the PHP release, which will be active for the account depending on what your script apps require. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you will be able to employ a compact software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you won't need any previous experience considering that enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the required program code in a specific domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you are able to contact our tech support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we provide and it takes only a couple of clicks to do that. Once you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is one of these options, so you won't have to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Since you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you will have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set the PHP release and 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 particular site, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
