Zend Optimizer is a well-known piece of software, that is needed to execute files encrypted with Zend Guard. The aforementioned encrypts files created in PHP 4 and PHP 5 so as to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized use, thus guarding copyright protected source code. In case you wish to protect your custom-written script, for instance, you're able to employ 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. Various pre-made script-driven apps, particularly ones that are paid, also need Zend Optimizer to operate efficiently because their core code is ordinarily not free to change. Websites that use the instrument are normally faster since their code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer is installed on all the servers that are part of our advanced cloud web hosting platform.

Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you will not have any troubles. In the exact same area you can also select the PHP version for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, which means that any time you switch to one that you haven't used yet, you can activate Zend Optimizer for it with a click.
