Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that's required to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you will be able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Many ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to function properly since their core code is generally not free to change. Websites which use the tool are generally faster as their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-built cloud platform and you'll be able to use it regardless of the shared hosting plan that you choose. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the accounts and it'll take you as little as several clicks to do that. Given that we support several 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 activate Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you haven't used yet. This is very easy though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click software instrument, and you don't need any kind of programming skills or previous experience. Our hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app that needs Zend Optimizer without any troubles, yet if you are not sure how to proceed, you are able to contact our 24/7 technical support crew and they will activate the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

Zend Optimizer is available on all of the servers that comprise our cluster hosting platform, which means that you will be able to use it for all your script-driven applications with any of our semi-dedicated server plans. It will be available all the time even if you switch the PHP release for your account as our feature-rich platform will allow you to choose between 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. Both changing your version and activating Zend Optimizer for the new one takes just a few clicks in the PHP Configuration area of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel that is used to manage the semi-dedicated accounts. What is more, you may also use a different release of PHP and enable or disable Zend for each individual website that you host from your account. You can do this by using a php.ini file in a domain folder with several lines of program code inside it. If you don't have previous experience and you are not sure how to do that, our 24/7 tech assistance can help you.
