In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encode their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, since anyone would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without paying the needed license fees. In case you obtain web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as an instrument known as ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encoded files and you will often find it as one of the prerequisites for a given script app to be installed. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they are normally executed faster and this can raise the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

When you obtain a Linux shared hosting package through us, it'll be set up on our custom-built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you will not have any kind of problems to run any script application which needs the instrument to function properly. Furthermore, we offer several different versions of PHP, so if you switch the version, you will need to activate ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and if you go back to the earlier version of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Every adjustment that you make takes literally just a single click and it'll take effect at once.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you get a semi-dedicated server package from us, you'll be able to take advantage of any kind of script-driven app that needs ionCube Loader because the tool is installed on all servers which are a part of our modern cloud website hosting platform. Furthermore, we support several versions of PHP, so 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 platform will remember your choice, and in case you move back to the previous release of PHP, the software tool will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also provide 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 whole website hosting account. This can be done by putting a php.ini file in a domain folder with a couple of lines of program code.
