To prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their code with instruments like 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 necessary license fees. If you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software instrument named ionCube Loader is a part of the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you will often find it among the prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're usually executed more quickly and this will enhance the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all of the cloud website hosting packages that we provide, so any time you need it in order to set up and execute some script application which needs it, you can enable it with a click inside the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. Since you are able to change the PHP version which is active for your account from the same section, you will have to enable the tool for any new version which you set. If you're more experienced, you will be able to employ a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for that particular site only, without affecting the entire account. This way you are able to manage both new and older script applications for multiple sites inside the same account - a thing that you will not be able to do with many other website hosting providers available on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you aquire a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you will be able to take advantage of any script-driven app which needs ionCube Loader since the software tool is installed on all the servers which are part of our innovative cloud website hosting platform. In addition, we support various versions of PHP, which means that if you move 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 this particular version with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your choice, so if you switch back to the previous release of PHP, the instrument will already be active. For more experienced users, we also offer the option to pick the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain name without altering the settings for the entire hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file in a domain folder with a few lines of code.
