Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a well-known application which is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations that create paid script apps, so when you purchase such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.
Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting
Zend Optimizer is available on our tailor-made cloud platform and you will be able to use it whatever the web hosting plan that you select. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all accounts and it will take you as little as several clicks to do this. Since we support a number of 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 have to enable Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you have not used so far. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click application, therefore you won't need any computer programming skills or previous practical experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer without any difficulties, but if you're unsure what to do, you can contact our 24/7 tech support crew and they will enable the instrument for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
Zend Optimizer is featured on all servers that comprise our cluster website hosting platform, so you're able to use it for your script-driven applications with all of our semi-dedicated server packages. It will be available all of the time even when you change the PHP version for your account since our feature-rich platform allows you to choose between 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. Both changing your version and activating Zend Optimizer for the new one takes a few clicks in the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel that is used to take care of the semi-dedicated accounts. What is more, you may even employ a different version of PHP and enable or disable Zend for each individual site that you host in the account. You can do this by employing a php.ini file in a domain folder with just a few lines of code in it. In case you don't have previous experience and you are unsure how to do that, our 24/7 support will assist.
