Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of organizations which develop paid script apps, so in case you acquire such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting
All of the shared web hosting accounts which we offer are generated on our state-of-the-art cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers which are part of the clusters. For that reason, you'll be able to set up and run script-driven applications that require Zend regardless of the plan that you select upon signup. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel that comes with the accounts will make the control over your world wide web presence very simple and activating Zend Optimizer is not an exception because it'll take only a single click to do this. Furthermore, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a particular domain folder and use Zend just for a particular domain name. Since you can switch between a number of different PHP releases, you can enable Zend Optimizer for any of them in the very same way and manage both new and older apps from the same account.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a few clicks to do that. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should go to the PHP Configuration section where you can find a variety of options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, which means that you will not need to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. As you can also change the PHP release for your account through the same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Of course, we've 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 specific domain folder. The file will have effect just for this particular website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
