Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you'd like to protect your custom-made script, for instance, 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. Various pre-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to work correctly as their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Sites that use the tool are often speedier since their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer can be found on our custom-made cloud platform and you will be able to use it regardless of the shared hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all the accounts and it will take you as little as several clicks to do this. Considering that we support many 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 will need to enable Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click tool, and you will not need any coding skills or previous practical experience. Our web hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application which needs Zend Optimizer without troubles, still when you are unsure how to proceed, you are able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support team and they'll enable the tool for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You are able to enable Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it takes only a few clicks to do that. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you do not need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you will need to activate Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
