Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations which develop paid script apps, so if you buy such an application for your site, you'll 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 secure your code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our tailor-made cloud platform and you will be able to use it whatever the shared website hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all accounts and it'll take you just a couple of clicks to do this. Given that we support numerous releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you'll need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software instrument, and you do not need any coding skills or previous practical experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app that requires Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, still when you're not sure what you should do, you'll be able to contact our 24/7 technical support crew and they will activate the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans. It is available on our revolutionary cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven application which you need to use requires it to work, you just need to enable it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You shall find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you can also switch the PHP version that your website hosting account uses. For any new release that you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you will be all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used versions of PHP, which means that you won't need to do this each and every time. If you have more experience, you can take full advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file to set a different PHP version and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a particular website without the need of altering the overall settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
