Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a large number of companies that create paid script apps, so when you obtain such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is accessible on our in-house built cloud platform and you can use it whatever the web hosting package that you select. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all of the accounts and it will take you as little as a few clicks to do this. Due to the fact that we support many different releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you will need to activate Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you have not used so far. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click instrument, therefore you do not need any kind of computer programming skills or previous expertise. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application which needs Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, but in case you're not sure how to proceed, you will be able to contact our 24/7 tech support team and they can activate the tool for you.

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. It is available on our innovative cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app that you'd like to use requires it to work, you just need to activate it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also change the PHP version which your web hosting account uses. For any new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used versions of PHP, so you will not need to do this each time. In case you have more experience, you're able to take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP version and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular site without the need of altering the overall settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
