Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's required to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files created in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. When you need to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you are able to use Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Lots of ready-made script-driven applications, especially ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to function effectively as their core code is generally not free to change. Websites which use the tool are usually speedier as their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting

If you buy a shared web hosting plan from us, you'll be able to choose the PHP version, that will be active for the account depending on what your script apps require. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you're able to employ a small tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, which means that you will not need any kind of previous experience because enabling Zend Optimizer will be as easy as clicking a button. More advanced users will be able to do the same by adding a php.ini file with the needed code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you'll be able to contact our technical support team anytime.
