Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that's needed to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a widespread app that is employed to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by lots of organizations which create paid script applications, so when you purchase such an application for your site, you'll probably need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers won't be able to alter it in whatever way. Websites that use Zend Optimizer generally perform much better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it is already optimized and will be executed much faster.
Zend Optimizer in Hosting
If you acquire a Linux hosting plan through us, you will be able to pick the PHP version, which will be active for the account according to what your script applications require. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel for any of the versions that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you'll be able to take advantage of a compact software tool that will allow you to control the php.ini file for the account and enable or disable PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, therefore you won't need any kind of previous knowledge because enabling Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same by placing a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder.

Zend Optimizer in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can enable Zend Optimizer with each semi-dedicated server that we supply and it will take you only a couple of clicks to do this. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you have to go to the PHP Configuration section where you'll find many different options and On/Off buttons for each one of them. Zend is one of these options, so you won't have to do anything more difficult than clicking on its button. Because you can also change the PHP version for your account through the very same section, you will have to enable Zend for any new version which you use. Of course, we have also left the possibility for more experienced users to set the PHP version as well as the status of Zend Optimizer manually by placing a php.ini file in a particular domain folder. The file will have effect only for this particular website, but not for the hosting account as a whole.
