Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you wish to protect your custom script, for example, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. A number of ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function properly as their core code is often not free to change. Sites that use the tool are normally quicker as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
Zend Optimizer can be found on our in-house made cloud platform and you will be able to use it whatever the hosting plan 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 that. Due to the fact 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 have not used so far. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click instrument, so you do not need any kind of computer programming skills or previous practical experience. Our hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app that needs Zend Optimizer without any troubles, yet if you are unsure how to proceed, you'll be able to get in touch with our 24/7 tech support team and they will activate the tool for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with each and every semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you just a few clicks to do this. When you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is one of these options, so you won't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you will need to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we've also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP version and 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 site, but not for the hosting account in general.
