Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files protected with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of companies that make paid script applications, so when you obtain such an app for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting

When you buy a cloud website hosting from us, you can pick the PHP version, that will be active for the account based on what your script applications require. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you'll be able to employ a small tool which will allow you to manage the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any kind of previous experience since activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same by placing a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the tool, you'll be able to contact our technical support team anytime.
