Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of organizations which develop paid script apps, so when you acquire such an app for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer usually perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

When you get a Linux shared website hosting plan from our company, you are able to choose the PHP release, that will be active for your account based on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you will be able to employ a small tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any previous knowledge as activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the necessary code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the instrument, you are able to contact our tech support crew anytime.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we supply and it'll take you just a few clicks to do that. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should go to the PHP Configuration section where you can find many different options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is one of these options, which means that you will not need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you'll have to activate Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set the PHP release and 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 website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
