In order to prevent the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encrypt their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, since anybody could possibly use and change the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. If you get web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without any problems as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is available on the website hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encrypted files and you'll 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 are ordinarily executed more quickly and this will raise the overall speed of your website.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all the web servers that are part of our cloud web hosting platform, which means that whatever the Linux shared hosting that you pick during the signup process, you can activate it from the Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as easy as right-clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first web hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complex. The very same section will allow you to pick the PHP version for your account (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), so if you decide to move to another version, you just need to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. Because our platform is rather flexible, you can set some other PHP version and a different status of ionCube by using a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you wish to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 technical support team will assist you quickly.
