Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of companies that develop paid script applications, so when you acquire such an application for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
All the shared hosting accounts which we offer are set up on our advanced cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers that are a part of the clusters. As a result, you can set up and execute script-driven applications which require Zend irrespective of the package that you choose upon registration. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with the accounts shall make the control over your online presence a breeze and enabling Zend Optimizer is not an exception because it'll take a single click to do this. In addition, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a particular domain folder and activate Zend only for a specific domain. Because you can switch between a variety of PHP releases, you will be able to activate Zend Optimizer for all of them in the very same way and run both new and older applications within the same account.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can enable Zend Optimizer with each 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 should go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is one of these options, so you will not need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account through the same section, you'll have to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Furthermore, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set 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 specific website, but not for the website hosting account in general.
