Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you'd like to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. Many ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to operate effectively as their core code is generally not free to change. Websites that use the tool are usually faster because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers which are a part of our leading-edge cloud website hosting platform. Regardless of which Linux cloud web hosting you select, you can activate the software tool so that any kind of script application which requires it will function properly within your account. By using a convenient tool from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the web hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate a variety of functions with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you won't encounter any problems. In the very same area you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, so any time you switch to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Because our platform allows you to use several PHP releases simultaneously, more advanced users can enable the tool for an individual site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you need to head to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for each of them. Zend is among these options, so you will not need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP release for your account through the same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we have also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set 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.
