Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you need to protect your custom-written script, for example, you can 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. A lot of pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to work effectively because their core code is usually not free to modify. Websites that use the instrument are typically quicker since their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
Zend Optimizer is accessible on our tailor-made cloud platform and you are able to use it regardless of the hosting package that you choose. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all of the accounts and it'll take you as little as a couple of clicks to do this. Due to the fact that we support several 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 will have to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you haven't used yet. This is really easy though - the php.ini file where you can activate and deactivate various PHP extensions can be operated with a point-and-click software tool, and you do not need any kind of coding skills or previous experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application which requires Zend Optimizer without any troubles, still if you're not sure what to do, you will be able to get in touch with our 24/7 technical support team and they can activate the instrument for you.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we offer and it'll take you only a few clicks to do that. When you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for all of them. Zend is among these options, so you won't need to do anything more complicated than clicking on its button. Because you can also switch the PHP release for your account through the same section, you will have to activate Zend for any new version that you use. In addition, we have also left the possibility for more knowledgeable users to set the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this specific site, but not for the website hosting account as a whole.
