To prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, since anyone would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. In case you purchase web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a software instrument named ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you will often notice it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script application to be installed. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed more quickly and this can raise the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all of the shared website hosting plans which we supply, so any time you require it to install and execute some script app which needs it, you can enable it with a click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can switch the PHP release which is active for your account in the same section, you'll have to enable the instrument for any new version which you set. When you're more experienced, you're able to employ a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for that particular website only, without affecting the entire account. In this way you're able to run both new and older script applications for multiple sites in the same account - something that you cannot do with lots of other website hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all of the Linux semi-dedicated services that we supply, so you won't have any problems if you would like to install and work with a script application that requires the tool to function properly. Enabling it is as easy as clicking a button in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in a minute, so you will be able to move forward with the app installation without any delays. Because we use a hi-tech custom-built platform and we support several versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to activate ionCube every time you move to a version that you have not used before. You will also have the option to activate ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by making a php.ini file in an individual domain or subdomain folder and adding several lines of program code within it.
