Zend Optimizer is a tool, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous companies that make paid script apps, so if you get such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer is accessible on our custom-made cloud platform and you'll be able to use it regardless of the shared hosting plan that you select. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the accounts and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do this. Since we support a number of different releases 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'll need to enable Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is very easy though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click tool, so you won't need any kind of computer programming skills or previous experience. Our web hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer without any troubles, still if you are not sure what you should do, you'll be able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they'll activate the instrument for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated plans. It is installed on our innovative cloud platform, so if any script-driven application which you want to use requires it to work, you just have to enable it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also switch the PHP release which your website hosting account uses. For every new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your choice for previously used releases of PHP, so you will not have to do this each time. If you have more experience, you'll be able to benefit from the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set another PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific domain without the need of altering the overall settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
