Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you'd like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you can use Zend Guard and your program code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A lot of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to function efficiently because their core code is generally not free to modify. Sites which use the instrument are typically faster because their program code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-built cloud platform and you will be able to use it regardless of the hosting package that you select. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all of the accounts and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do that. Given that we support several 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'll need to enable Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you have not used yet. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click application, and you don't need any kind of coding skills or previous experience. Our hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that needs Zend Optimizer without any troubles, but in case you're unsure what you should do, you are able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support crew and they will activate the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers that comprise our cluster website hosting platform, so you can use it for all your script-driven applications with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. It'll be available all the time even if you change the PHP version for your account since our feature-rich platform will allow you to choose from 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 couple of clicks in the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to control the semi-dedicated accounts. What is more, you may even use a different release of PHP and enable or disable Zend for each individual website that you host in your account. You can do this by using a php.ini file in a domain folder with just a few lines of program code in it. In case you do not have previous experience and you aren't sure how to do this, our 24/7 tech assistance can help you.
