Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of organizations that develop paid script applications, so when you get such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it is already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-made cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the cloud hosting plan that you select. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all accounts and it'll take you as little as a few clicks to do this. Because we support numerous versions 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 will need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you have not used yet. This is very easy though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click instrument, so you don't need any kind of programming skills or previous practical experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer without difficulties, yet when you're unsure how to proceed, you're able to get in touch with our 24/7 tech support crew and they will activate the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We offer Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. It's present on our avant-garde cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app that you wish to use requires it to work, you just need to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also change the PHP release which your website hosting account uses. For each new release that you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used versions of PHP, therefore you won't have to do that every time. In case you have more experience, you're able to take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular website without altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
