In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their program code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and change the unprotected code without paying the required license fees. In case you buy web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you will often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they're normally executed a lot quicker and this will improve the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all the shared hosting packages that we supply, so every time you need it in order to install and execute some script application which requires it, you can enable it with a single click inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. As you'll be able to change the PHP version that's active for your account in the same section, you will have to enable the instrument for any new version which you set. If you are more skillful, you can take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for that particular site only, without affecting the whole account. Thus you can operate both new and older script apps for multiple websites within the same account - a thing that you will not be able to do with various other hosting providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server account that's created on our outstanding cloud web hosting platform has ionCube Loader support, which means that you can install any script application which needs the tool. Then use it in order to launch and maintain your internet presence. You can activate ionCube through the PHP Configuration area of the Control Panel and it will take you just a few clicks to do that. Your change takes effect immediately, so you are able to proceed and install the needed script in your account. If you choose to switch the PHP version that is active for your account, you'll have to enable ionCube for the new release too. Our custom-built platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each and every domain or subdomain, which is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you'll be able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
