Zend Optimizer is a popular software, which is needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encodes files written in PHP 4 and PHP 5 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you'd like to protect your custom script, for example, you're able to use Zend Guard and your code won't be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. A lot of ready-made script-driven applications, in particular ones which are paid, also require Zend Optimizer in order to work correctly because their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Internet sites which use the tool are usually speedier because their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer in Website Hosting

Zend Optimizer is available on our in-house made cloud platform and you can use it regardless of the website hosting package that you select. It can be enabled through the Hepsia Control Panel which is provided with all accounts and it will take you as little as a couple of clicks to do this. Considering that we support numerous versions of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), you will have to enable Zend Optimizer each time you switch the version to one you haven't used yet. This is quite simple though - the php.ini file where you can activate and disable various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software tool, so you won't need any kind of programming skills or previous expertise. Our web hosting services will allow you to run any script-driven application which needs Zend Optimizer without any troubles, but in case you're unsure how to proceed, you'll be able to contact our 24/7 technical support team and they'll enable the instrument for you.
