To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encrypt their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, as anybody could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as an instrument named ionCube Loader is installed on the website hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you will often notice it on the list of prerequisites for a certain script application to be installed. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are usually executed faster and this will improve the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all of the shared web hosting plans which we provide, so when you require it to install and execute some script application which needs it, you can enable it with a click inside the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can change the PHP version which is active for your account in the same section, you'll have to activate the tool for each new version which you set. When 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 as well as the status of ionCube Loader for that particular website only, without affecting the entire account. This way you will be able to manage both new and older script applications for multiple sites inside the same account - a thing that you can't do with a lot of other web hosting service providers out there.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Because all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script application that needs this tool to run efficiently. With just a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you can activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that's currently active for the account. As we support several versions of PHP at the same time, you'll need to do that every time you switch to a different release, but when you revert back to a release which you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be activated. When you have a couple of websites in the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you'll be able to create a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of code you can define both the PHP release and the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the website hosting account altogether.
