Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is required to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you wish to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you are able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not be human readable, but you will also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Many ready-made script-driven applications, particularly ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to operate properly because their core code is often not free to modify. Websites that use the tool are usually speedier since their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting
Zend Optimizer is present on our custom-made cloud platform and you can use it regardless of the cloud hosting plan that you select. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the accounts and it will take you as little as a few clicks to do this. Considering that we support many 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'll need to enable Zend Optimizer each time you change the version to one you have not used yet. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click software tool, so you don't need any kind of computer programming skills or previous practical experience. Our website hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that requires Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, yet when you're not sure what you should do, you can get in touch with our 24/7 tech support crew and they will enable the instrument for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You can enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we provide and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. After you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you should head to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find various options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, therefore you don't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you'll have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. In addition, we have also left the option for more experienced users to set both the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by putting a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect just for this particular website, but not for the web hosting account as a whole.
