In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, because anyone could possibly use and change the unprotected code without paying the necessary license fees. When you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as an instrument known as ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you'll often find it among the prerequisites for a certain script app to be set up. Due to the fact that the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed more rapidly and this can boost the overall speed of your website.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
IonCube Loader is supplied with each Linux shared hosting service that we offer and you are able to enable it anytime with only a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to employ script apps which need it. You will be able to do this from the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it will take to enable or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change takes effect within a minute, so you're able to proceed and set up the application that you'd like without delay. The exact same section allows you to switch the PHP version that is active for your account, as we support multiple versions on our hi-tech cloud hosting platform. If you move to a version that you haven't used so far, you'll need to activate ionCube Loader once again. Experienced users will be able to use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
Because all of 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 so as to run efficiently. With a couple of clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel you can activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that's currently active for your account. As we support multiple releases of PHP simultaneously, you'll need to do this each and every time you move to a different version, but when you revert back to a version which you have already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have a couple of websites in the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you'll be able to set up a php.ini file in each domain folder and with several lines of program code you are able to define both the PHP release and the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
