IonCube
Learn what IonCube is and also the reasons why it’s installed on virtually every server running PHP today.
In order to stop the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encrypt their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid apps in particular, because anyone would be able to use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the required license fees. In case you get web software protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as an instrument named ionCube Loader is installed on the hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encrypted files and you will often find it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be installed. As the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're generally executed faster and this will increase the overall speed of your website.
IonCube in Website Hosting
If you get a Linux website hosting package through our company, it'll be set up on our in-house made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script app which needs the instrument in order to run properly. We also supply several different releases of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you need to activate ionCube once again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, and in case you switch back to the previous release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each change that you make takes literally just a click and it will take effect without delay.
