Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, which is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you'd like to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you're able to take advantage of Zend Guard and your program code will no longer be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your website. A number of ready-made script-driven apps, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to operate correctly because their core code is usually not free to modify. Internet sites which use the tool are often speedier because their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
All shared hosting accounts which we provide are created on our state-of-the-art cluster platform and Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers that are a part of the clusters. Because of this, you can set up and execute script-driven apps that require Zend regardless of the package that you pick upon signup. The intuitive Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with the accounts shall make the control over your web presence very simple and enabling Zend Optimizer is not an exception because it'll take just a single click to do it. Of course, more experienced users can also insert a php.ini file in a given domain folder and activate Zend just for a specific domain name. Since you can switch between numerous PHP releases, you'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer for all of them in the very same way and run both new and older applications from the same account.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
We have installed Zend Optimizer on all of the servers which are a part of our hi-tech cloud hosting platform and since all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you'll be able to enable and use Zend for any kind of script app that you need to use with just a single click. You may also select the PHP release which will be active for your account, so if you switch to a different version, you just have to go to the Advanced section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and click on the On button for Zend Optimizer - it's as simple as that. In case you change the version back, Zend will already be active. More tech-savvy users will also have the opportunity to set the PHP release and to activate Zend Optimizer only for a single site by placing a php.ini file with the needed code inside the corresponding domain folder.
