In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a number of developers encode their code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, as anybody could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool called ionCube Loader is a part of the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you will often see it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they are generally executed much faster and this will raise the general speed of your website.

IonCube Loader is supplied with each Linux shared hosting that we supply and you are able to enable it at any time with just a couple of clicks, so you can employ script apps which need it. You're able to do that through the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it'll take to enable or deactivate ionCube is to click a single button. The change will take effect in a minute, so you can proceed and install the application that you'd like without delay. The same section will allow you to change the PHP version that's active for your account, because we support a variety of releases on our advanced cloud hosting platform. If you move to a version that you have never used to date, you'll need to activate ionCube Loader once again. Experienced users can use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube Loader is available with all of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans that we offer, which means that you will not experience any problems in case you would like to set up and work with some script application that requires the software instrument in order to operate appropriately.
