Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you want to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you will be able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A lot of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to function effectively because their core code is generally not free to modify. Internet sites which use the instrument are usually faster since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
Zend Optimizer is accessible on our in-house built cloud platform and you can use it whatever the website hosting plan that you select. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all accounts and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. Since we support many different versions 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 need 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 application, so you will not need any programming skills or previous practical experience. Our web hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app which requires Zend Optimizer without troubles, still if you are unsure how to proceed, you'll be able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support team and they will enable the tool for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
We offer Zend Optimizer with all of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages. It is available on our cutting-edge cloud platform, so if any script-driven app which you need to use requires it to work, you just have to activate it with a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration section where you may also switch the PHP release which your hosting account uses. For each new version which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia remembers your selection for previously used versions of PHP, therefore you won't have to do that each and every time. If you have more experience, you're able to take full advantage of 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 altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
