Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app 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 code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by numerous corporations which create paid script applications, so in case you get such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your website visitors or clients will be unable to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

All of the cloud hosting accounts that we provide are created on our state-of-the-art cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is present on all of the servers which are a part of the clusters. Because of this, you're able to install and run script-driven applications which require Zend whatever the plan that you select upon registration. The easy to work with Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with the accounts will make the management of your web presence very easy and activating Zend Optimizer makes no exception since it will take a single click to do it. In addition, more experienced users can also place a php.ini file in a specific domain folder and activate Zend only for a particular domain name. Because you can switch between numerous PHP versions, you can enable Zend Optimizer for them in the very same way and run both new and older apps from the same account.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated servers. It's installed on our avant-garde cloud platform, therefore if any script-driven application which you would like to use requires it to function, you just need to activate it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you may also change the PHP release which your web hosting account uses. For each and every new version which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used releases of PHP, so you will not have to do that every time. In the event that you have more experience, you are able to take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular domain name without the need of altering the settings for the entire semi-dedicated server account.
