To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the required license fees. When you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a tool known as ionCube Loader is available on the website hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encrypted files and you will often see it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script app to be installed. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed a lot quicker and this can improve the general speed of your site.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you obtain a semi-dedicated server plan from us, you can employ any kind of script-driven app which requires ionCube Loader because the tool is available on all the servers that are a part of our state-of-the-art cloud web hosting platform. Furthermore, we support various versions of PHP, so 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 activate ionCube for that particular version with only a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so in case you switch back to the previous version of PHP, the software instrument will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also provide the option to select the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain without altering the settings for the whole website hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with several lines of program code.
