To avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, since anyone could possibly use and modify the unprotected code without paying the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as a software instrument called ionCube Loader is a part of the hosting server. This loader enables you to run encoded files and you will often find it as one of the prerequisites for a certain script application to be set up. Because the encoded files are already precompiled, they are normally executed more rapidly and this will boost the overall speed of your site.
IonCube in Shared Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is available with all shared web hosting packages which we offer, so when you need it to set up and run a script app that needs it, you can enable it with a single click in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you'll be able to change the PHP release that's active for your account from the same section, you will have to activate the instrument for any new version that you set. If you're more experienced, you'll be 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 that particular site only, without affecting the whole account. Thus you can run both new and older script applications for multiple sites in the same account - something that you will not be able to do with numerous other web hosting providers on the market.
