Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of companies that develop paid script applications, so when you obtain such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. In case you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your code and ensure that your website visitors or clients won't be able to alter it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer usually perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting
When you purchase a website hosting from us, you have the option to select the PHP release, which will be active for your account based on what your script applications need. You will be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you can take advantage of a small tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you will not need any kind of previous experience since activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you'll be able to contact our technical support crew anytime.
