Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, which is required to execute files encoded with Zend Guard. The latter encrypts files written in PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyright protected source code. If you want to protect your custom script, for example, you are able to use Zend Guard and your code will not be human readable, but you'll also need Zend Optimizer on the server where you host your site. Many pre-made script-driven apps, especially ones that are paid, also require Zend Optimizer to work correctly because their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Internet sites which use the instrument are usually speedier since their program code is already optimized and precompiled.
Zend Optimizer in Shared Web Hosting
When you get a shared web hosting plan from us, you will be able to select the PHP release, that will be active for your account based on what your script apps require. You'll be able to activate Zend Optimizer with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel for any of the releases that we offer - 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. Once you go to this area, you will be able to use a small software tool that will allow you to handle the php.ini file for the account and activate or deactivate PHP extensions using On and Off buttons, so you won't need any previous knowledge considering that enabling Zend Optimizer is as simple as clicking a button. More experienced users can do the same thing by placing a php.ini file with the required code in a particular domain folder. If you need any assistance to activate the instrument, you can contact our tech support crew at any time.
