IonCube
What is IonCube? How exactly does IonCube work and when do you need it for your PHP apps?
In order to avoid the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encrypt their program code with instruments such as ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The latter is valid for paid applications in particular, as anyone could possibly use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the needed license fees. If you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you can use it without a problem as long as an instrument called ionCube Loader is installed on the web hosting server. This loader allows you to execute encoded files and you will often find it on the list of prerequisites for a given script application to be set up. Since the encoded files are already precompiled, they're usually executed much faster and this will increase the general speed of your website.

IonCube in Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is provided with all of the
web hosting packages which we provide, so if you need it to set up and execute a script app that requires it, you can enable it with a single click in the Advanced section of your Hepsia Control Panel. Since you'll be able to change the PHP release which is active for your account from the same section, you'll need to enable the instrument for every new version that you set. When you are more skillful, you can take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular website only, without affecting the entire account. In this way you'll be able to operate both new and older script apps for multiple sites in the same account - something that you won't be able to do with a lot of other web hosting providers on the market.
