In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encrypt their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, because anyone could possibly use and change the unprotected code without paying the required license fees. In case you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is installed on the website hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you'll often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a given script application to be installed. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're generally executed quicker and this will increase the general speed of your site.

IonCube in Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux web hosting from us, it will be set up on our custom-built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any problems to run any script app that requires the tool in order to function appropriately. We also offer a few different releases of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you'll have to enable ionCube again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, so if you switch back to the previous version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube tool can be operated from the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Any adjustment that you do takes literally just a mouse-click and it will take effect immediately.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you obtain a semi-dedicated server package from us, you'll be able to use any kind of script-driven application that needs ionCube Loader as the tool comes with all the servers that are part of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform. In addition, we support several versions of PHP, and if you switch from PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, for example, you can activate ionCube for this particular version with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so if you move back to the previous release of PHP, the tool will already be active. For more experienced users, we also offer the option to pick the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the whole hosting account. This is done by placing a php.ini file within a domain folder with a few lines of code.
