In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encrypt their code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, since anybody would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the required license fees. If you buy 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 installed on the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you will often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are normally executed more rapidly and this will raise the overall speed of your website.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
IonCube Loader is a part of all the web servers that are a part of our cloud hosting platform, which means that irrespective of the Linux shared hosting that you choose during the signup process, you'll be able to activate it through your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as easy as clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complex. The exact same section enables you to select the PHP version for your account (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), and if you would like to move to some other version, you only need to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. Because our platform is very flexible, you can even set a different PHP version and another status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in every domain folder. In case this is something you want to do but you do not have much experience, the 24/7 technical support team will be able to assist you in no time.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
Because all the 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 that needs this tool to run effectively. With just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel you can activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for the account. Since we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to do this each time you switch to a different release, but if you revert back to a version that you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. When you have several websites in the same account and they require different versions of PHP, you'll be able to set up a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you will be able to define both the PHP version and the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
