To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encode their code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, as anyone could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the required license fees. When you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as an instrument known as ionCube Loader is present on the website hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you will often find it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed more rapidly and this can boost the overall speed of your site.
IonCube in Shared Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is available on all the web servers which are a part of our cloud web hosting platform, which means that irrespective of the Linux shared web hosting that you pick during the signup process, you will be able to activate it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as right-clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first hosting account ever, you will not need to do anything complicated. The same section will allow you to pick the PHP release 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 choose to switch to some other version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Because our platform is rather flexible, you can even set another PHP version and another status of ionCube using a php.ini file in every domain folder. In case this is something you wish to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 tech support team will assist you in no time.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you purchase a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you'll be able to take advantage of any script-driven application which needs ionCube Loader for the reason that the tool is installed on all of the servers that are part of our revolutionary cloud hosting platform. Furthermore, we support several versions of PHP, therefore if you switch 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 example, you can enable ionCube for that particular release with just a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our system will remember your choice, so if you move back to the earlier version of PHP, the software instrument will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also offer the option to pick the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain name without altering the settings for the whole website hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with several lines of program code.
