Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard. The second encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you want to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you'll be able to employ Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A large number of ready-made script-driven apps, particularly ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to work efficiently because their core code is usually not free to change. Internet sites which use the instrument are normally faster as their code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
When you get a Linux website hosting package from our company, you'll be able to select the PHP version, that will be active for the account according to what your script applications require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you can employ a small software tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions with On and Off buttons, therefore you will not need any kind of previous knowledge as enabling Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any assistance to activate the tool, you'll be able to contact our technical support crew at any time.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we offer and it will take you only a few 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 of them. Zend is one of these options, so you will not need to do anything more complex than clicking on its button. Since you can also change the PHP version for your account from the very same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version that you use. Furthermore, we have also left the option for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP version and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
