In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone would be able to use and change the unencrypted code without paying the required license fees. In case you buy web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you'll often notice it among the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Since the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are normally executed more rapidly and this can improve the general speed of your site.
IonCube in Website Hosting
IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every website hosting package that we provide and you're able to activate it anytime with only a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to take advantage of script applications that require it. You'll be able to do this from the PHP Configuration area of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it'll take to enable or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change will take effect in a minute, therefore you can proceed and install the application that you'd like right away. The very same section allows you to change the PHP release that's active for your account, as we support a variety of versions on our hi-tech cloud hosting platform. If you switch to a version that you've never used so far, you will need to activate ionCube Loader again. More advanced users can use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder so as to set a PHP release different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Since all the semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you will be able to use any script app that requires this software tool so as to function effectively. With several clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you can activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. As we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll have to do that any time you move to a new release, and when you revert back to a release that you have already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. In case you have several sites in the same account and they require different releases of PHP, you're able to set up a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with several lines of code you'll be able to define both the PHP release as well as the status of ionCube no matter what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
