Zend Optimizer is a popular piece of software, that is needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4 and PHP 5 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and illegal use, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you need to protect your custom-written script, for example, you are able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your blog. A number of ready-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to operate correctly as their core code is often not free to change. Internet sites that use the instrument are generally faster because their code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Cloud Hosting

Zend Optimizer is accessible on our custom cloud platform and you are able to use it whatever the cloud hosting plan that you select. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the accounts and it'll take you only a few clicks to do this. Considering that we support a number of different versions of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you will need to activate Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used so far. This is a piece of cake though - the php.ini file where you can enable and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click instrument, therefore you don't need any kind of coding skills or previous experience. Our web hosting services allow you to run any script-driven app that requires Zend Optimizer without any troubles, but in case you are unsure what to do, you'll be able to contact our 24/7 tech support crew and they'll enable the tool for you.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on all the servers that comprise our cluster hosting platform, so you will be able to use it for all of your script-driven applications with all of our semi-dedicated server plans. It is available at all times even if you switch the PHP version for your account because our feature-rich platform allows you to choose between PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Both changing the version and activating Zend Optimizer for the new one takes a few clicks in the PHP Configuration area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel which is used to manage the semi-dedicated accounts. What's more, you can also use a different version of PHP and activate or deactivate Zend for each individual website that you host in the account. This is possible by employing a php.ini file in a domain folder with a couple of lines of code in it. In case you don't have previous experience and you are unsure how to do this, our 24/7 tech support will assist.
