To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, because anyone would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without paying the necessary license fees. In case you purchase web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is a part of the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you will often notice it among the prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they are usually executed much faster and this will improve the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting

When you get a Linux shared web hosting from us, it will be set up on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any kind of problems to run any script app that needs the instrument so as to run appropriately. Furthermore, we provide several different releases of PHP, so in case you change the version, you will have to activate ionCube again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, so in case you switch back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. Both the PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Any change that you make takes literally just a mouse-click and it takes effect at once.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you'll be able to employ any script-driven app that needs ionCube Loader as the tool is available on all the servers that are a part of our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform. We also support multiple releases of PHP, which means that 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 instance, you can activate ionCube for this particular release with just a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so if you switch back to the earlier release of PHP, the tool will already be active. For more experienced users, we also provide the option to select the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the whole website hosting account. This is done by placing a php.ini file within a domain folder with a couple of lines of code.
