Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that's needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard. The latter encodes files written in PHP 4 and PHP 5 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. When you need to protect your custom script, for example, you can 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. Numerous pre-made script-driven applications, in particular ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer in order to work effectively because their core code is often not free to change. Sites that use the instrument are often speedier since their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Cloud Website Hosting
Zend Optimizer is available on our custom-built cloud platform and you're able to use it regardless of the cloud website hosting plan that you choose. It can be enabled from the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the accounts and it will take you only a couple of clicks to do that. Considering that we support a number of different releases of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you will need to activate Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used so far. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be handled with a point-and-click tool, therefore you won't need any coding skills or previous expertise. Our website hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven app that needs Zend Optimizer with no difficulties, yet when you are unsure how to proceed, you can get in touch with our 24/7 technical support team and they'll activate the instrument for you.

We have installed Zend Optimizer on all of the servers which are a part of our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform and considering that all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on it, you'll be able to activate and use Zend for any script app that you wish to use with no more than a single click. You can also pick the PHP version that will be active for your account, therefore if you switch to a different release, you just have to go to the Advanced part of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and click on the On button for Zend Optimizer - it is as easy as that.
