Zend Optimizer is a software instrument, which is needed to execute files encoded with Zend Guard - a widespread application that is employed to encrypt 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 a great number of companies that create paid script applications, so in case you get such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be present on the server where you'll host it. If you are a programmer, you may also use Zend Guard to secure your program code and ensure that your site visitors or customers will not be able to change it in any way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer often perform better due to the fact that their PHP code is precompiled, so it's already optimized and will be executed a lot faster.
Zend Optimizer in Web Hosting
Zend Optimizer is set up on all the servers which are part of our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. No matter which web hosting you obtain, you will be able to use the instrument so that any script app which needs it will function flawlessly in your account. Using a convenient instrument from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that is provided with all the web hosting accounts, you'll be able to activate and deactivate various settings with one button. Zend Optimizer will be one of them, so even if this happens to be your first web hosting account ever, you won't have any problems. In the same section you can also pick the PHP version for your account - 4 and multiple versions of 5, thus each time you move to one that you have not used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with just a click. Since our platform enables you to use multiple PHP versions at once, more advanced users can activate the tool for an individual site with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
