Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is required to execute files encrypted 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 illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you need to protect your custom-made script, for example, you can take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A large number of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to function efficiently as their core code is generally not free to change. Internet sites which use the tool are usually faster because their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

All shared hosting accounts which we provide are set up on our cutting-edge cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is installed on all of the servers that are part of the clusters. Consequently, you'll be able to set up and execute script-driven apps which need Zend regardless of the plan that you select upon signup. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel which is included with the accounts will make the management of your online presence a breeze and enabling Zend Optimizer is not an exception as it will take a single click to do this. Of course, more experienced users can also put a php.ini file in a specific domain folder and take advantage of Zend just for a specific domain. As you can switch between many different PHP releases, you will be able to activate Zend Optimizer for any of them in the very same way and manage both new and older applications within the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you just a few clicks to do that. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you can find various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, therefore you do not have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP release for your account from the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set the PHP release as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect just for this specific site, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
