In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, since anyone would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without paying the needed license fees. In case you purchase web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as a software tool called ionCube Loader is a part of the website hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encrypted files and you will often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're generally executed a lot faster and this can boost the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is installed on all the web servers that are part of our cloud web hosting platform, so regardless of the cloud web hosting that you get during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it from your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this is your first website hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complex. The exact same section will allow 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), which means that if you choose to move to another version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. As our platform is rather flexible, you can set a different PHP version and a different status of ionCube using a php.ini file in every domain folder. If this is something you would like to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 technical support team shall assist you very quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is provided with all of the semi-dedicated servers that we offer, which means that you won't have any problems in case you would like to install and work with a script app which requires the tool in order to function properly. Activating it is as simple as clicking a single button in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in less than a minute, so you are able to move forward with the app set up without any delays. Due to the fact that we employ an avant-garde custom-made platform and we support several versions of PHP at the same time, you will need to activate ionCube any time you move to a version that you have not used before. Additionally, you have the option to enable ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by making a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a couple of lines of code in it.
