To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, as anyone would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. In case you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is a part of the website hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you'll often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are normally executed a lot faster and this can enhance the general speed of your site.

IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all the cloud web hosting packages that we offer, so every time you need it to set up and run some script application that needs it, you can enable it with a single click inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you're able to change the PHP release that's active for your account in the same section, you will need to enable the instrument for any new version that you set. In case you are more skillful, you will be able to employ a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular website only, without affecting the whole account. This way you can operate both new and older script applications for multiple websites within the same account - something that you can't do with a lot of other web hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you get a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to employ any kind of script-driven app that requires ionCube Loader due to the fact that the software tool is available on all servers which are a part of our advanced cloud hosting platform. In addition, we support various releases of PHP, which means that 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 release with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so if you switch back to the previous version of PHP, the instrument will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also provide the option to pick the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain without altering the settings for the whole website hosting account. This can be done by putting a php.ini file within a domain folder with a couple of lines of code.
