In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script apps, numerous developers encrypt their program code with tools such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you buy web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as an instrument called ionCube Loader is a part of the web hosting server. This loader enables you to run encrypted files and you'll often see it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script application to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed more rapidly and this can boost the overall speed of your website.
IonCube in Hosting
IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every Linux hosting package that we offer and you are able to activate it at any time with only a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to use script apps which require it. You are able to do this through the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to activate or deactivate ionCube is to click a button. The change takes effect in a minute, which means that you're able to go ahead and set up the application that you would like without delay. The same section will allow you to switch the PHP version that is active for your account, as we support a variety of versions on our leading-edge cloud platform. If you move to a release that you have not used to date, you'll need to enable ionCube Loader once again. More advanced users can use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder so as to set a PHP version different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
IonCube Loader is available with all of the Linux semi-dedicated packages that we provide, so you will not experience any kind of problems if you'd like to install and use a script application which requires the software instrument to function appropriately. Activating it is as easy as clicking a button inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in less than a minute, which means that you'll be able to move forward with the application set up without delay. Due to the fact that we employ an avant-garde custom-made platform and we support many different versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you haven't used before. You will also have the option to enable ionCube loader or even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by generating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding several lines of code in it.
