Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you need 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 website. A large number of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to function correctly as their core code is generally not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are generally speedier as their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers which are part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. No matter which shared web hosting you pick, you will be able to use the instrument to ensure that any script app which needs it will work properly as part of your account. By using a handy instrument from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate different functions with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this happens to be your first website hosting account ever, you will not have any troubles. In the same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, thus each time you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Because our platform allows you to take advantage of several PHP versions at once, more advanced users can enable the instrument for a particular site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

Zend Optimizer is present on all of the servers that comprise our cluster website hosting platform, therefore you will be able to use it for your script-driven applications with all of our semi-dedicated server packages.

In addition, you can also employ a different version of PHP and enable or disable Zend for each individual website that you host in your account. This is possible by employing a php.ini file in a domain folder with a couple of lines of code inside it.
