In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encrypt their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This 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. When you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as an instrument known as ionCube Loader is present on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you will often see it as one of the prerequisites for a given script app to be installed. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed more rapidly and this will boost the general speed of your website.
IonCube in Cloud Hosting
IonCube Loader is available with all of the cloud hosting plans which we supply, so any time you require it in order to set up and run some script app that requires it, you can activate it with a single click from the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you'll be able to change the PHP release that is active for your account from the same section, you'll need to activate the tool for any new version which you set. If you're more experienced, you are able to use 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 entire account. Thus you can manage both new and older script apps for multiple websites within the same account - something that you can't do with many other web hosting providers out there.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
IonCube Loader is provided with all semi-dedicated plans that we provide, and you will not encounter any problems if you would like to set up and use a script application which requires the software instrument to operate appropriately. Enabling it is as simple as clicking a single button in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in a minute, which means that you'll be able to proceed with the application installation without delay. Since we use a hi-tech custom platform and we support a number of versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll have to activate ionCube every time you switch to a version that you have not used before. You will also have the option to enable ionCube loader or even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by creating a php.ini file in an individual domain or subdomain folder and adding a couple of lines of program code within it.
