To stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the needed license fees. In case you purchase web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you'll often find it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be installed. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they're generally executed a lot faster and this will boost the general speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all of the shared hosting packages which we supply, so if you need it in order to install and run some script app which requires it, you can activate it with a single click inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you are able to switch the PHP version that is active for your account in the same section, you'll have to enable the tool for any new version which you set. If you are more skillful, you'll be able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for that particular website only, without affecting the whole account. Thus you're able to operate both new and older script apps for multiple sites in the same account - something that you can't do with numerous other website hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you aquire a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you can take advantage of any kind of script-driven app which requires ionCube Loader due to the fact that the tool comes with all servers which are a part of our advanced cloud web hosting platform. In addition, we support different 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 enable ionCube for this particular version with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our system will remember your choice, so in case you move back to the previous release of PHP, the instrument 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 particular domain without altering the settings for the whole hosting account. This is done by placing a php.ini file within a domain folder with a couple of lines of code.
