In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and change the unencrypted code without having to pay the required license fees. If you buy web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as an instrument called ionCube Loader is present on the website hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encoded files and you will often see it on the list of prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they are generally executed quicker and this can improve the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all the web hosting plans which we supply, so every time you need it to set up and run a script application that requires it, you can activate it with a click inside the Advanced section of your Hepsia Control Panel. Because you'll be able to switch the PHP version that is active for your account in the same section, you'll have to activate the instrument for any new version which you set. When you're more skillful, you're able to employ a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular website only, without affecting the entire account. Thus you'll be able to operate both new and older script apps for multiple sites in the same account - a thing that you will not be able to do with many other website hosting service providers available on the market.

This is done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a few lines of code.
