Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular app which is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of companies that create paid script apps, so if you buy such an app for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to shield your program code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better because their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it is already optimized and will be executed faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

When you purchase a Linux shared website hosting package from us, you are able to choose the PHP release, which will be active for your account depending on what your script apps require. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area 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. Once you go to this area, you'll be able to employ a small software tool that will allow you to handle 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 because activating Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same thing by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you're able to contact our tech support team anytime.
