In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, since anyone would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. If you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is installed on the web hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you'll often see it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script application to be set up. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they're normally executed a lot faster and this can improve the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all the web servers which are a part of our cloud website hosting platform, so irrespective of the Linux shared service that you choose during the signup process, you'll be able to activate it through your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this is your first web hosting account ever, you won't have to do anything complicated. The exact same section will allow you to select the PHP version 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), so in case you would like to move to another version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. As our platform is flexible, you may even set another PHP version and another status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you'd like to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 tech support team will help you quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Because all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script app that requires this tool to work effectively. With just a few clicks in the Hepsia 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 versions of PHP at the same time, you'll have to do that each and every time you move to a different release, and when you revert back to a release which you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have a couple of websites inside the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you are able to set up a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of code you'll be able to define both the PHP release as well as the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the website hosting account altogether.
