In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of developers encode their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without paying the needed license fees. In case you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you will often see it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are generally executed a lot quicker and this can boost the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all web servers which are part of our cloud hosting platform, so whatever the web hosting that you choose during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it from your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as easy as right-clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first web hosting account ever, you will not need to do anything complex. The same section enables you to pick the PHP release for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), and if you choose to switch to a different version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Due to the fact that our platform is very flexible, you can set a different PHP version and another status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in every domain folder. If this is something you wish to do but you don't have much experience, the 24/7 technical support team will assist you within minutes.
