In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, because anyone would be able to use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the required license fees. If you purchase web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool called ionCube Loader is a part of the website hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you'll often find it on the list of prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they're normally executed quicker and this can boost the overall speed of your site.
IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting
IonCube Loader is present on all the web servers which are a part of our cloud website hosting platform, which means that regardless of the cloud website hosting plan that you get during the signup process, you will be able to enable it through your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as easy as clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this is your first website hosting account ever, you will not need to do anything complex. The very same section will allow you to choose 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), which means that in case you decide to move to a different version, you only need to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. Since our platform is rather flexible, you can 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 wish to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 support team will help you in no time.
