Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you are able to use Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A lot of pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to function properly since their core code is often not free to change. Internet sites which use the tool are normally faster because their program code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer comes with all servers which are part of our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform. No matter which Linux cloud plan you select, you can use the instrument to ensure that any script application that needs it will function properly in your account. Using a handy instrument in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all of the web hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate different options with a single button. Zend Optimizer will be one of these, so even if this happens to be your very first hosting account ever, you will not have any troubles. In the exact same section you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, and any time you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. As our platform allows you to work with several PHP releases at once, more experienced users can enable the instrument for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans. It is installed on our avant-garde cloud platform, so if any script-driven app that you'd like to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also switch the PHP version which your website hosting account uses. For any new version which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used versions of PHP, so you will not need to do this each time. In the event that you have more experience, you can take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file to set another PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific website without altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
