In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, many 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, because anyone would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as an instrument named ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to run encoded files and you will often find it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script application to be set up. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they're ordinarily executed quicker and this will raise the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all of the web servers that are part of our cloud hosting platform, which means that regardless of the Linux shared hosting package that you get during the signup process, you will be able to activate it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first web hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complex. The same section enables you to choose the PHP release 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), and in case you want to move to a different version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. Due to the fact that our platform is flexible, you can set some other PHP version and a different status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you'd like to do but you don't have much experience, the 24/7 support team will be able to help you in no time.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Due to the fact that all the semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script app that needs the software tool to function properly. With several clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you'll be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for the account. Because we support several versions of PHP concurrently, you will have to do that every time you move to a new release, but if you revert back to a release which you have already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. If you have several websites in the same account and they need different releases of PHP, you will be able to create a php.ini file in each domain folder and with several lines of program code you'll be able to define both the PHP version plus the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
