Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of corporations that create paid script apps, so in case you get such an application for your website, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed more quickly.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

If you acquire a Linux web hosting package through us, you can choose the PHP release, which will be active for your account depending on what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you will be able to use a small tool which will allow you to control the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, so you won't need any previous knowledge considering that activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the tool, you're able to contact our technical support team at any time.
