To stop the reverse engineering of script applications, a lot of developers encode their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, as anyone could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without paying the necessary license fees. If you purchase web software encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, you will be able to use it without any problems as long as a software tool named ionCube Loader is available on the web hosting server. This loader makes it possible to execute encrypted files and you'll often see it on the list of prerequisites for a certain script application to be set up. Due to the fact that the encoded files are already precompiled, they are usually executed much faster and this can enhance the general speed of your website.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
IonCube Loader is installed on all of the web servers that are part of our cloud hosting platform, therefore irrespective of the shared hosting that you pick during the signup process, you'll be able to activate it from your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you will not need to do anything complicated. The exact same section enables you to select the PHP release for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), which means that in case you would like to move to another version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well.
