Zend Optimizer is a popular software, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you wish to protect your custom script, for example, you will be able to use 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 large number of ready-made script-driven apps, particularly ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to operate correctly as their core code is often not free to modify. Websites that use the instrument are typically faster since their program code is already optimized and pre-compiled.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Website Hosting

When you get a Linux shared website hosting package through us, you're able to select the PHP release, that will be active for the account according to what your script apps require. You can activate Zend Optimizer with just a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you can use a small software tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any kind of previous knowledge because activating Zend Optimizer is as easy as clicking a button. More skilled users can do the same by adding a php.ini file with the necessary program code in a specific domain folder. In case you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you are able to contact our technical support team anytime.
