In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, as anybody could possibly use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the needed license fees. When you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as an instrument known as ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you'll often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script application to be installed. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed faster and this can improve the overall speed of your site.
IonCube in Website Hosting
IonCube Loader comes with all the website hosting plans which we supply, so every time you require it in order to set up and execute some script app that needs it, you can activate it with a single click from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. As you can switch the PHP version which is active for your account in the same section, you will need to activate the instrument for any new version that you set. When you are more skillful, you're able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the entire account. This way you'll be able to run both new and older script applications for multiple sites within the same account - something that you won't be able to do with a lot of other hosting providers available on the market.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you obtain a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to use any script-driven app that requires ionCube Loader as the software tool comes with all of the servers which are a part of our advanced cloud website hosting platform. Furthermore, we support multiple versions of PHP, therefore 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 version with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, and in case you move back to the earlier release of PHP, the instrument will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also provide the option to choose the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the entire website hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with several lines of program code.
