Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular app that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of companies which develop paid script applications, so in case you get such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers won't be able to change it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer can be found on our in-house built cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the shared web hosting package that you choose. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all accounts and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do that. Due to the fact that 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'll need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you haven't used so far. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click tool, and you will not need any kind of programming skills or previous expertise. Our hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app that needs Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, but if you are not sure what to do, you'll be able to contact our 24/7 technical support team and they'll activate the instrument for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We provide Zend Optimizer with all our semi-dedicated hosting service. It is installed on our avant-garde cloud platform, so if any script-driven app which you would like to use requires it to work, you just need to enable it with a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. You'll find Zend in the PHP Configuration area where you can also switch the PHP version which your web hosting account uses. For any new version which you set, simply click on the On button for Zend Optimizer and you are all set. Hepsia will remember your selection for previously used versions of PHP, which means that you won't have to do that every time. In the event that you have more experience, you're able to take full advantage of the flexibility of our cloud platform and use a php.ini file in order to set another PHP version and activate/deactivate Zend Optimizer for a specific domain without the need of altering the settings for the whole semi-dedicated server account.
