Zend Optimizer is a tool, that is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of corporations that make paid script applications, so in case you acquire such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-built cloud platform and you're able to use it whatever the cloud hosting package that you select. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all accounts and it'll take you as little as several clicks to do that. Because we support many different versions of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you will have to activate Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is very easy though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click tool, so you won't need any kind of coding skills or previous expertise. Our hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that needs Zend Optimizer without troubles, yet in case you're unsure what to do, you can contact our 24/7 tech support crew and they can enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated servers. It is installed on our innovative cloud platform, which means that if any script-driven application which you'd like to use requires it to work, you just have to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You will find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also switch the PHP version which your website hosting account uses. For any 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, so you will not need to do this each and every time. In case you have more experience, you are able to take advantage of the versatility of our cloud platform and employ a php.ini file in order to set a different PHP version and enable/disable Zend Optimizer for a specific site without altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
