Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that is needed to run files encoded with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files written in PHP 4 and PHP 5 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and not authorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you wish to protect your custom script, for instance, you'll be able to employ Zend Guard and your program code will not 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 which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer so as to operate effectively since their core code is often not free to modify. Websites that use the instrument are typically faster as their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all servers that are a part of our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. No matter which Linux hosting service you select, you'll be able to take advantage of the instrument to guarantee that any script app that requires it will function properly in your account. By using a handy software tool from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all of the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate a variety of options with one button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your first website hosting account ever, you won't experience any troubles. In the same area you can also choose the PHP release for your account - 4 and numerous versions of 5, so each time you change to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Because our platform enables you to work with multiple PHP versions simultaneously, more experienced users can enable the tool for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can activate Zend Optimizer with every single semi-dedicated server that we supply and it takes just a few clicks to do this. After you log in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to visit the PHP Configuration section where you will find many different options and On/Off buttons for them. Zend is among these options, therefore you don't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. As you can also switch the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you'll need to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we've also left the possibility for more experienced users to set both the PHP release and the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a specific domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
