In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encode their code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, as anybody would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool named ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader allows you to run encoded files and you'll often notice it on the list of prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they're generally executed much faster and this can boost the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all cloud website hosting packages which we supply, so any time you need it to set up and execute a script app that needs it, you can enable it with a click inside the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Since you'll be able to switch the PHP release that is active for your account in the same section, you will have to activate the instrument for every new version which you set. If you're more skillful, you'll be able to take advantage of 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 site only, without affecting the whole account. Thus you're able to run both new and older script applications for multiple websites inside the same account - something that you will not be able to do with a lot of other web hosting service providers available on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Because all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script app which needs the software tool to work efficiently. With just a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for your account. Since we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to do that each and every time you move to a new release, but if you revert back to a version which you've already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be activated. If you have multiple websites inside the same account and they need different releases of PHP, you're able to create a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with several lines of program code you can define both the PHP release as well as the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the website hosting account altogether.
