In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encode their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, since anyone would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. If you buy web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem 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 will often notice it on the list of prerequisites for a given script app to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are normally executed more quickly and this can raise the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all the shared website hosting plans that we supply, so if you require it to set up and run some script application that requires it, you can enable it with a single click inside the Advanced section of your Hepsia Control Panel. Since you'll be able to switch the PHP version which is active for your account from the same section, you need to activate the tool for every new version which you set. When you're more experienced, you'll be able to employ a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the whole account. In this way you're able to run both new and older script applications for multiple sites within the same account - a thing that you cannot do with numerous other web hosting suppliers on the market.

If you aquire a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you'll be able to use any kind of script-driven application that needs ionCube Loader due to the fact that the tool is available on all of the servers which are a part of our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform. In addition, we support several versions of PHP, and 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 activate ionCube for this particular release with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, and if you move back to the earlier release of PHP, the instrument will already be active. For more experienced users, we also provide the option to pick the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain name without altering the settings for the whole web hosting account. This can be done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a couple of lines of code.
