Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you need to protect your custom-written script, for example, you're able to use 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 site. Numerous pre-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to operate properly because their core code is often not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are often speedier because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is present on our custom-made cloud platform and you can use it whatever the cloud hosting plan that you select. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all of the accounts and it will take you only several clicks to do that. Considering that we support numerous releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you'll have to activate Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you have not used so far. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software instrument, therefore you will not need any programming skills or previous expertise. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app which needs Zend Optimizer without any troubles, still if you're unsure what to do, you will be able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they can enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it takes just a couple of clicks to do this. Once you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to go 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, which means that you don't need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP release for your account through the very same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we've also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set both the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific site, but not for the hosting account in general.
