Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you'd like to protect your custom-made script, for example, you will be able to use Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A number of ready-made script-driven apps, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to function effectively as their core code is ordinarily not free to modify. Websites which use the tool are usually speedier since their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is accessible on our custom-built cloud platform and you'll be able to use it regardless of the shared hosting package that you select. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all accounts and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do this. 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 have to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you have not used yet. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click tool, and you will not need any coding skills or previous expertise. Our website hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app which requires Zend Optimizer without troubles, but when you're unsure how to proceed, you'll be able to get in touch with our 24/7 tech support crew and they'll enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting. It is present on our innovative cloud platform, so if any script-driven app which you want to use requires it to function, you just need to enable it with a click in the Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also switch the PHP release that your hosting account uses. For each new release which you set, just click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you'll be all set. Hepsia remembers your choice for previously used releases of PHP, so you will not need to do this each time. In case you have more experience, you'll be able to benefit from the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file to set a different PHP release and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a specific domain name without the need of altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
