In order to stop the reverse engineering of script applications, many developers encrypt their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone could possibly use and change the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. If you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without any problems as long as a tool called ionCube Loader is available on the hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you'll often find it among the prerequisites for a certain script app to be set up. As the encoded files are already precompiled, they are usually executed quicker and this will raise the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with every single web hosting that we provide and you can enable it anytime with just a few clicks, so you will be able to use script apps which need it. You're able to do this through the PHP Configuration area of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it will take to activate or deactivate ionCube is to click a single button. The change takes effect in a minute, so you can proceed and set up the app that you would like without delay. The very same section will allow you to change the PHP release that's active for your account, as we support a variety of releases on our cutting-edge cloud platform. In case you switch to a version that you have never used to date, you'll need to enable ionCube Loader once again. More advanced users can use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.
