Zend Optimizer is a software tool, which is required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is used to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of corporations that make paid script apps, so in case you purchase such an application for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed much faster.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer comes with all servers which are a part of our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of which shared hosting plan you get, you can use the software instrument to ensure that any script application which needs it will operate properly in your account. By using a handy tool in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all the website hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate a variety of options with a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this happens to be your first hosting account ever, you won't encounter any problems. In the same area you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, and whenever you change to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Since our platform enables you to work with a couple of PHP versions at the same time, more advanced users can activate the tool for an individual website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers

We've set up Zend Optimizer on all the servers which are part of our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and considering that all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you will be able to activate and use Zend for any script app which you wish to use with no more than a single click.
