To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, many developers encode their code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder and make it human unreadable. This is valid for paid applications in particular, since anybody could possibly use and change the unprotected code without having to pay the required 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 tool known as ionCube Loader is present on the hosting server. This loader enables you to execute encrypted files and you will often find it among the prerequisites for a given script application to be installed. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they are ordinarily executed quicker and this can raise the overall speed of your site.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Then employ it in order to launch and maintain your web presence. You can enable ionCube from the PHP Configuration area of your Control Panel and it'll take you no more than a couple of clicks to do this. Your change will take effect immediately, which means that you'll be able to go ahead and set up the needed script inside your account. If you decide to change the PHP version that's active for the account, you will have to enable ionCube for the new version too.
