Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you would like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, you will be able to use Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. A number of pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to work correctly since their core code is usually not free to modify. Websites which use the instrument are often speedier because their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

If you get a shared website hosting service from us, you will be able to select the PHP release, that will be active for the account depending on what your script applications need. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this area, you'll be able to take advantage of a compact tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous experience because activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the tool, you'll be able to contact our technical support team at any time.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You are able to enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. When you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, which means that you won't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the same section, you'll need to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing 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 as a whole.
