To stop the reverse engineering of script applications, many developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without paying the necessary license fees. In case you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is a part of the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you will often notice it among the prerequisites for a particular script app to be set up. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed more rapidly and this will boost the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all website hosting packages that we supply, so any time you need it to install and run some script application which needs it, you can activate it with a click from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you can switch the PHP version that is active for your account from the same section, you will need to enable the tool for any new version that you set. In case you are more experienced, you're able to take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular website only, without affecting the entire account. Thus you can run both new and older script apps for multiple websites inside the same account - something that you won't be able to do with lots of other website hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Since all of the 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 that needs the software tool in order to work effectively. With a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. As we support several releases of PHP simultaneously, you will have to do that each time you move to a new version, and if you revert back to a release which you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have a couple of sites in 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 program code you will be able to define both the PHP version and the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the website hosting account as a whole.
