To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their code with instruments like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, since anybody would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the needed license fees. In case you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software instrument named ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encoded files and you will often notice it among the prerequisites for a given script application to be installed. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they're generally executed much faster and this will boost the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

When you aquire a cloud website hosting plan through our company, it'll be set up on our tailor-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any problems to run any script application that needs the tool in order to function appropriately. Furthermore, we offer you several different versions of PHP, therefore in case you change the version, you will have to activate ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, so if you switch back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be operated from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Each change that you do takes literally just a mouse-click and it will take effect at once.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you buy a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to use any script-driven app which requires ionCube Loader since the tool is installed on all of the servers which are a part of our state-of-the-art cloud hosting platform. In addition, we support multiple versions of PHP, and if you switch from PHP 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, for example, you can enable ionCube for that particular version with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our system will remember your choice, and in case you switch back to the previous release of PHP, the software instrument will already be active. For more experienced users, we also offer the option to choose the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain without altering the settings for the entire web hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a couple of lines of program code.
