Zend Optimizer is a software tool, that is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known application that is employed to encode PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the purpose to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by a great number of organizations that develop paid script applications, so when you get such an application for your site, you will probably need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you'll host it. In case you're a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to protect your code and make sure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in any way. Sites which use Zend Optimizer often perform much better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, therefore it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting
Zend Optimizer comes with all servers which are part of our modern cloud web hosting platform. Regardless of which Linux shared hosting package you get, you'll be able to use the software instrument to ensure that any script app which requires it will operate properly in your account. By using a handy tool in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which is included with all of the web hosting accounts, you will be able to activate and deactivate various functions with just a single button. Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you will not experience any troubles. In the exact same area you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, thus any time you move to one that you have not used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Because our platform allows you to take advantage of several PHP releases at once, more experienced users can enable the instrument for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
