In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encode their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid applications in particular, since anybody would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without paying the needed license fees. If you obtain web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is present on the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you will often see it among the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed quicker and this will improve the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all website hosting plans which we offer, so if you need it to set up and execute some script app which needs it, you can enable it with a single click inside the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can change the PHP version that's active for your account from the same section, you will need to enable the instrument for any new version which you set. When you're more experienced, you'll be 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 website only, without affecting the entire account. This way you are able to run both new and older script apps for multiple sites in the same account - a thing that you will not be able to do with lots of other hosting suppliers on the market.
