To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encode their code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. If you acquire web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool called ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader allows you to run encrypted files and you'll often see it as one of the prerequisites for a given script app to be set up. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed more quickly and this will enhance the general speed of your website.
IonCube in Shared Website Hosting
IonCube Loader comes with all of the shared website hosting plans that we offer, so every time you require it in order to install and run some script application that requires it, you can activate it with a single click from the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. As you'll be able to change the PHP release that is active for your account in the same section, you will need to enable the instrument for every new version which you set. When you are more experienced, you are able to take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for that particular site only, without affecting the entire account. Thus you will be able to manage both new and older script applications for multiple sites within the same account - a thing that you cannot do with lots of other website hosting suppliers on the market.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
As 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 application which needs this tool to function effectively. With several clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you'll be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. As we support several releases of PHP simultaneously, you'll have to do this every time you switch to a new version, and when you revert back to a version that you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. If you have several sites in the same account and they need different releases of PHP, you'll be able to create a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with several lines of code you're able to define both the PHP release and the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the hosting account as a whole.
