To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, as 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'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is present on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to run encrypted files and you'll often notice it among the prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed a lot quicker and this can increase the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every shared web hosting that we supply and you will be able to activate it anytime with just a few clicks, so you can work with script apps which need it. You will be able to do that from the PHP Configuration area of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to activate or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change takes effect within a minute, which means that you are able to go ahead and install the app that you need without delay. The same section allows you to change the PHP release which is active for your account, because we support multiple releases on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. In case you move to a release that you have not used to date, you'll need to activate ionCube Loader again. More advanced users can use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder so as to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In addition, we support various versions of PHP, which means that if you switch from PHP 4 to 5.2 or 5.3, for example, you can enable ionCube for that particular version with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so if you move back to the earlier version of PHP, the tool will already be active. For more experienced users, we also offer the option to choose the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the whole website hosting account. This is done by placing a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a few lines of program code.
