Zend Optimizer is an instrument, which is required to execute files protected with Zend Guard - a well-known app that is used to encrypt PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 files with the objective to protect them from tampering with the code or reverse engineering. Zend Guard is used by plenty of corporations which develop paid script applications, so if you purchase such an app for your website, you will most likely need Zend Optimizer to be available on the server where you will host it. If you're a programmer, you can use Zend Guard to protect your program code and ensure that your website visitors or customers will not be able to alter it in whatever way. Sites that use Zend Optimizer ordinarily perform better because their PHP code is precompiled, thus it's already optimized and will be executed much more rapidly.

Zend Optimizer in Shared Hosting

Zend Optimizer can be found on our custom cloud platform and you'll be able to use it whatever the shared hosting package that you select. It can be activated through the Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all accounts and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do that. Since we support a number of different versions of PHP (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), you will need to enable Zend Optimizer every time you change the version to one you haven't used so far. This is very easy though - the php.ini file where you can enable and deactivate various PHP extensions can be managed with a point-and-click software instrument, and you will not need any kind of coding skills or previous experience. Our website hosting services allow you to run any script-driven application that needs Zend Optimizer without troubles, but when you are unsure how to proceed, you are able to contact our 24/7 technical support crew and they can activate the instrument for you.
