To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a number of 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 would be able to use and modify the unprotected code without paying the required license fees. In case you get web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool called ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to run encrypted files and you will often find 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're usually executed more rapidly and this will raise the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all the shared hosting plans which we supply, so every time you need it to set up and execute a script application which requires it, you can activate it with a single click inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. As you are able to switch the PHP release which is active for your account from the same section, you will have to activate the instrument for any new version that you set. In case you are more experienced, you'll be able to take advantage of 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 site only, without affecting the entire account. This way you are able to run both new and older script applications for multiple websites in the same account - a thing that you will not be able to do with numerous other web hosting providers out there.

In the same way, you can enable/disable ionCube Loader for each website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
