In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script applications, many developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, as anybody would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is present on the website hosting server. This loader allows you to run encoded files and you'll often find it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed much faster and this will raise the overall speed of your site.
IonCube in Cloud Hosting
IonCube Loader is a part of all the web servers that are a part of our cloud hosting platform, therefore regardless of the cloud hosting that you choose during the signup process, you will be able to activate it from the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first hosting account ever, you will not need to do anything complicated. The exact same section enables you to select 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 decide to switch to another version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Due to the fact that our platform is really flexible, you can even set a different PHP version and a different status of ionCube using a php.ini file in each domain folder. In case this is something you need to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 support team shall assist you quickly.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
As all semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script app that needs this tool to work efficiently. With several clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you are able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for the account. Because we support a couple of releases of PHP simultaneously, you will have to do this each time you switch to a different version, but when you revert back to a version which you have already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have a couple of sites inside the same account and they require different releases of PHP, you'll be able to set up a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with several lines of program code you're able to define both the PHP version and the status of ionCube no matter what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
