To prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the required license fees. When you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is a part of the web hosting server. This loader allows you to run encrypted files and you'll often find it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they are usually executed more quickly and this will boost the overall speed of your website.
IonCube in Shared Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is provided with all shared web hosting packages which we offer, so when you need it in order to install and run some script application that needs it, you can enable it with a single click from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you'll be able to change the PHP release which is active for your account from the same section, you'll need to activate the instrument for any new version that you set. When you're more skillful, you can take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the entire account. Thus you're able to operate both new and older script apps for multiple sites inside the same account - something that you won't be able to do with a lot of other website hosting suppliers out there.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single semi-dedicated server account that's set up on our modern cloud website hosting platform has ionCube Loader support, which means that you'll be able to set up any script app which requires the tool. Then use it in order to launch and maintain your web presence. You can activate ionCube from the PHP Configuration section of the Control Panel and it will take you no more than a couple of clicks to do this. Your change takes effect right away, which means that you will be able to proceed and set up the necessary script in your account. If you would like change the PHP version that's active for the account, you will have to enable ionCube for the new release too. Our custom-built platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each and every domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you'll be able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each site hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
