In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, numerous developers encode their program code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, as anybody would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without paying the needed license fees. When you acquire web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is installed on the website hosting server. This loader enables you to run encrypted files and you will often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they're usually executed more rapidly and this will boost the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all of the web servers that are part of our cloud web hosting platform, so regardless of the shared hosting that you pick during the signup process, you will be able to enable it through 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 have to do anything complex. The very same section will allow you to pick the PHP version for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), so in case you would like to switch to some other version, you only need to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Due to the fact that our platform is rather flexible, you may even set a different PHP version and another status of ionCube using a php.ini file in each domain folder. In case this is something you'd like to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 technical support team shall assist you within minutes.
