Zend Optimizer is a tool, that's required to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard - a popular application that is employed to encode PHP 4 and PHP 5 files with the idea to protect them from tampering with the program code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of companies that create paid script apps, so in case you obtain such an app for your website, you'll most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you will host it. In case you are a programmer, you can also use Zend Guard to secure your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to change it in whatever way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform much better owing to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.

Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting

When you get a Linux web hosting from our company, you will be able to select the PHP version, that will be active for the account depending on what your script apps need. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for all of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. When you go to this section, you are able to use a small software tool which will allow you to handle the php.ini file for your account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions through On and Off buttons, which means that you won't need any previous knowledge as activating Zend Optimizer will be as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users will be able to do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the required program code in a particular domain folder. In case you need any help to activate the instrument, you can contact our technical support team anytime.
