In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. In case you purchase web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is a part of the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you'll often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they are normally executed more rapidly and this will enhance the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all web hosting plans that we provide, so any time you require it in order to install and execute a script application that requires it, you can enable it with a click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Since you are able to change the PHP version that's active for your account in the same section, you will need to activate the tool for every new version which you set. In case you are more experienced, you'll be able to use 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 whole account. Thus you'll be able to manage both new and older script apps for multiple websites inside the same account - something that you will not be able to do with various other hosting suppliers available on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all Linux semi-dedicated packages that we offer, and you won't experience any kind of problems in case you'd like to install and work with a script app that requires the tool so as to operate appropriately. Enabling it is as easy as clicking a single button in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in a minute, so you'll be able to proceed with the app installation without delay. For the reason that we use an avant-garde in-house built platform and we support a number of versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to activate ionCube any time you switch to a version that you haven't used before. You will also have the option to activate ionCube loader or even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by creating a php.ini file in an individual domain or subdomain folder and adding a few lines of code inside it.
