To prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encode their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, as anyone would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you obtain web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a tool named ionCube Loader is a part of the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encrypted files and you will often notice it among the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed faster and this can raise the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every Linux shared hosting that we supply and you will be able to activate it at any time with only a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to work with script applications which need it. You will be able to do that through the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to activate or disable ionCube is to click a button. The change will take effect in a minute, which means that you'll be able to proceed and install the app that you would like right away. The exact same section will allow you to change the PHP release which is active for your account, as we support numerous versions on our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform. If you switch to a version that you've never used to date, you'll have to enable ionCube Loader again. More advanced users will be able to use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Since all semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you will be able to use any script application which needs this software tool in order to function efficiently. With a couple of clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you are able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. As we support a couple of versions of PHP at the same time, you'll have to do this each time you move to a different release, and if you revert back to a release which you've already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be activated. In case you have a couple of sites inside the same account and they need different releases of PHP, you are able to set up a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of code you'll be able to define both the PHP version plus the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the website hosting account as a whole.
