In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, because anybody would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without paying the needed license fees. In case you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a tool called ionCube Loader is installed on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you'll often notice it on the list of prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they're normally executed a lot faster and this will improve the general speed of your site.
IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting
IonCube Loader comes with all cloud web hosting plans that we offer, so when you require it to install and run a script app which requires it, you can activate it with a single click inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can switch the PHP version that is active for your account from the same section, you'll have to enable the instrument for each new version which you set. If you're more skillful, you will be able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the entire account. In this way you will be able to run both new and older script apps for multiple websites in the same account - a thing that you cannot do with numerous other web hosting service providers out there.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Because all of the semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script app which needs the software tool in order to function effectively. With several clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you'll be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for your account. Because we support multiple versions of PHP concurrently, you'll have to do this every time you move to a new release, but if you revert back to a release that you've already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be activated. If you have a couple of websites in the same account and they require different versions of PHP, you are able to set up a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you're able to define both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
