Zend Optimizer is an instrument, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app that 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 corporations which create paid script apps, so when you purchase such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is present on our custom-made cloud platform and you'll be able to use it regardless of the cloud web hosting plan that you select. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the accounts and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. Due to the fact that we support many different versions of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you will need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you haven't used yet. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click software instrument, so you don't need any programming skills or previous practical experience. Our website hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer without difficulties, but in case you're not sure what to do, you're able to get in touch with our 24/7 tech support team and they'll activate the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We've installed Zend Optimizer on all servers which are part of our innovative cloud website hosting platform and since all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you will be able to enable and use Zend for any kind of script application that you'd like to use with just a click. You may also select the PHP version that will be active for your account, so if you switch to another version, you only need to go to the Advanced section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and click on the On button for Zend Optimizer - it's as simple as that. If you change the version back, Zend will already be active. More tech-savvy users will also have the opportunity to set the PHP release and to activate Zend Optimizer only for a single site by placing a php.ini file with the needed code in the corresponding domain folder.
