Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, which is required to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. If you would like to protect your custom-written script, for example, you are able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Lots of pre-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to function efficiently as their core code is generally not free to change. Internet sites that use the instrument are normally quicker since their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Hosting

Zend Optimizer is set up on all servers which are a part of our advanced cloud hosting platform. Regardless of which hosting service you acquire, you can use the software instrument to ensure that any kind of script app which requires it will work flawlessly as part of your account. Using a handy software tool in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the hosting accounts, you can activate and deactivate different settings with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first hosting account ever, you will not encounter any difficulties. In the same area you can also choose the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, so each time you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Since our platform enables you to use a couple of PHP releases at the same time, more advanced users can enable the tool for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
