In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, numerous developers encrypt their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone could possibly use and change the unprotected code without paying the needed license fees. If you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software instrument named ionCube Loader is available on the website hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you will often see it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script application to be installed. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're generally executed much faster and this will raise the general speed of your site.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all of the cloud hosting plans that we provide, so any time you need it to set up and run a script application that requires it, you can activate it with a single click inside the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Since you'll be able to change the PHP version that's active for your account in the same section, you will need to activate the tool for every new version which you set. If you're more experienced, you will be able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the whole account. This way you can run both new and older script applications for multiple sites within the same account - something that you will not be able to do with many other web hosting suppliers out there.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you obtain a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to employ any kind of script-driven application which requires ionCube Loader due to the fact that the tool is available on all servers that are part of our revolutionary cloud website hosting platform. In addition, we support multiple versions of PHP, which means that if you move 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 from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, and in case you move back to the earlier version of PHP, the software instrument will already be active. For more experienced users, we also provide the option to pick the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain without altering the settings for the whole hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file in a domain folder with several lines of code.
