In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encode their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone could possibly use and change the unprotected code without paying the required license fees. If you acquire web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as an instrument named ionCube Loader is a part of the hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encoded files and you'll often see it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're usually executed quicker and this can increase the overall speed of your site.
IonCube in Website Hosting
If you get a website hosting from our company, it will be set up on our custom cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you will not have any kind of problems to run any script app which needs the instrument to function properly. Furthermore, we provide several different releases of PHP, so if you change the version, you'll have to enable ionCube once again. Our system remembers the changes you make, which means that when you move back to the previous release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. Both the PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed through the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every change that you do takes literally just a mouse-click and it'll take effect at once.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you aquire a semi-dedicated server package from us, you can employ any script-driven application that requires ionCube Loader due to the fact that the tool is available on all the servers that are part of our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform. Furthermore, we support multiple releases 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 instance, you can activate ionCube for this particular release with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, and if you switch back to the earlier version of PHP, the software tool will already be active. For more experienced users, we also provide the option to choose the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain name without altering the settings for the entire website hosting account. This is done by placing a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a couple of lines of code.
