In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, because anybody could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you purchase web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool called ionCube Loader is installed on the website hosting server. This loader allows you to run encrypted files and you will often notice it among the prerequisites for a given script app to be set up. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they are generally executed more quickly and this will enhance the general speed of your site.
IonCube in Hosting
IonCube Loader comes with all the hosting packages which we supply, so if you require it in order to set up and execute some script application that needs it, you can enable it with a single click inside the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you'll be able to switch the PHP version which is active for your account in the same section, you'll need to enable the tool for every new version which you set. In case you are more experienced, you can take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for that particular site only, without affecting the entire account. This way you will be able to manage both new and older script apps for multiple websites in the same account - something that you can't do with various other hosting service providers out there.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
IonCube Loader is available with all of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we provide, which means that you will not encounter any kind of problems in case you would like to set up and use a script application that requires the software tool so as to operate properly. Enabling it is as easy as clicking a single button inside the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in less than a minute, which means that you are able to proceed with the app set up without delay. For the reason that we employ an avant-garde tailor-made platform and we support several versions of PHP at the same time, you'll have to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you have not used before. You will also have the option to activate ionCube loader and even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by generating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a couple of lines of program code within it.
