In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. In case you obtain web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as an instrument called ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader enables you to run encrypted files and you'll often notice it among the prerequisites for a certain script app to be set up. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed a lot faster and this can increase the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is installed on all of the web servers which are a part of our cloud hosting platform, so regardless of the shared hosting plan that you get during the signup process, you can enable it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complex. The same section allows you to pick 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), which means that if you want to switch to a different version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. Since our platform is quite flexible, you can even set another PHP version and another status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in every domain folder. If this is something you want to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 tech support team will help you in no time.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Because all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you'll be able to use any script application which requires this software tool to function effectively. With several clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. Since we support a couple of versions of PHP concurrently, you will need to do this any time you move to a new version, and when you revert back to a version that you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. In case you have multiple sites in the same account and they need different releases of PHP, you're able to create a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you will be able to define both the PHP release plus the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the hosting account as a whole.
