To avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encrypt their program code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, since anybody would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. If you purchase web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is present on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to run encoded files and you'll often find it among the prerequisites for a certain script app to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed more quickly and this will raise the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is present on all of the web servers that are a part of our cloud web hosting platform, which means that regardless of the Linux cloud website hosting that you pick during the signup process, you can enable it from the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as easy as clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you won't need to do anything complicated. The same section will allow you to choose the PHP release for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), and in case you decide to move to a different version, you just need to activate ionCube Loader for it too. As our platform is quite flexible, you may even set another PHP version and a different status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in each domain folder. In case this is something you would like to do but you don't have much experience, the 24/7 tech support team shall assist you very quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server account that is generated on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform includes ionCube Loader support, so you'll be able to install any script app which needs the tool. Then use it in order to start and maintain your online presence. You can activate ionCube from the PHP Configuration section of the Control Panel and it will take you no more than a few clicks to do that. The change takes effect without delay, which means that you're able to go ahead and install the necessary script in your account. If you decide to change the PHP version which is active for your account, you'll need to enable ionCube for the new release as well. Our in-house built platform also allows you to have a different PHP release for each domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you can enable/disable ionCube Loader for each website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
