In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, numerous developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, because anybody would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. If you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is present on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encoded files and you will often find it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're generally executed quicker and this will improve the general speed of your site.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each web hosting plan that we offer and you're able to activate it anytime with only a few clicks, so you'll be able to work with script apps that require it. You are able to do this through the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it'll take to activate or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change will take effect in a minute, which means that you are able to proceed and set up the application that you'd like right away. The same section will allow you to change the PHP release that's active for your account, as we support several releases on our hi-tech cloud hosting platform. In case you switch to a version that you have never used to date, you'll have to activate ionCube Loader once again. Experienced users can use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.
