Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you'd like to protect your custom-made script, for example, you can employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. Various pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to operate properly because their core code is often not free to change. Internet sites that use the instrument are typically faster as their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting
If you obtain a cloud web hosting plan through our company, you have the option to pick the PHP version, that will be active for your account according to what your script applications need. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you're able to take advantage of a small software tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any kind of previous knowledge since enabling Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any assistance to activate the tool, you will be able to contact our technical support team anytime.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our semi-dedicated servers. It is installed on our cutting-edge cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven app which you want to use requires it to function, you just have to enable it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also change the PHP version that your website hosting account uses. For each and every new release which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used releases of PHP, therefore you won't need to do that each time. In case you have more experience, you can benefit from the flexibility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP release and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific site without the need of altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
