Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to run files encrypted with Zend Guard - a widespread application which is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of corporations that develop paid script apps, so if you get such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to secure your program code and make sure that your site visitors or customers will be unable to alter it in whatever way. Websites which use Zend Optimizer generally perform better as their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot quicker.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting
Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers which are a part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. No matter which Linux shared web hosting package you choose, you will be able to activate the software instrument to ensure that any kind of script app which needs it will function flawlessly as part of your account. Using a handy software instrument from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate different settings with a button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your very first web hosting account ever, you will not experience any issues. In the same area you can also select the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, and each time you switch to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a click. Because our platform allows you to take advantage of a couple of PHP releases at once, more advanced users can activate the tool for a particular website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
