Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a number of corporations which make paid script apps, so when you buy such an app for your site, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to shield your code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Web Hosting

Zend Optimizer is present on our in-house built cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the cloud web hosting plan that you choose. It can be activated from the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all accounts and it'll take you as little as several clicks to do this. Since we support a number of different versions 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'll need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you switch the version to one you have not used yet. This is very simple though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software tool, so you don't need any computer programming skills or previous experience. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application which needs Zend Optimizer with no troubles, yet if you're unsure what to do, you will be able to contact our 24/7 technical support team and they can enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting
