Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, that is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a lot of organizations which create paid script applications, so in case you purchase such an app for your website, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your site visitors or clients will not be able to change it in any way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better since their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting
When you get a shared website hosting through us, you'll be able to choose the PHP release, which will be active for the account depending on what your script apps need. You can activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we provide - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this section, you will be able to employ a compact tool that will allow you to manage the php.ini file for your account and enable or disable PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you will not need any previous knowledge because enabling Zend Optimizer will be as easy as clicking a button. More advanced users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the necessary code in a specific domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the tool, you are able to contact our technical support crew anytime.
