Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous corporations which make paid script applications, so when you get such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

When you get a web hosting from us, you can select the PHP version, which will be active for the account based on what your script applications need. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you're able to employ a compact software tool which will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous experience since enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. If you need any help to activate the instrument, you will be able to contact our technical support team anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you only 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 various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't have to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this particular site, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
