Zend Optimizer is a well-known software, that's needed to run files protected with Zend Guard. The second encrypts files created in PHP 4 and PHP 5 in order to protect them from reverse engineering and unauthorized usage, thus guarding copyrighted source code. In case you'd like to protect your custom script, for instance, you will be able to take advantage of 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. Countless ready-made script-driven applications, particularly ones which are paid, also need Zend Optimizer so as to function effectively because their core code is generally not free to modify. Sites which use the instrument are generally faster because their program code is already optimized and precompiled.

Zend Optimizer is one of these, so even if this is your very first web hosting account ever, you won't have any problems. In the exact same section you can also select the PHP release for your account - 4 and several versions of 5, thus whenever you move to one that you haven't used yet, you can enable Zend Optimizer for it with a single click. Because our platform allows you to work with multiple PHP versions simultaneously, more advanced users can activate the instrument for a specific website with a php.ini file in a specific domain folder as well.
