To stop the reverse engineering of script apps, a lot of developers encode their program code with tools like ionCube PHP Encoder in order to make it human unreadable. The aforementioned is valid for paid apps in particular, as anybody could possibly use and modify the unencrypted code without having to pay the necessary license fees. When you acquire web software encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, you'll be able to use it without a problem as long as a software tool known as ionCube Loader is available on the website hosting server. This loader allows you to run encoded files and you'll often notice it as one of the prerequisites for a particular script application to be set up. Because the encrypted files are already precompiled, they're normally executed more quickly and this can enhance the overall speed of your site.

This process is as easy as clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this is your first website hosting account ever, you will not need to do anything complicated. The same section enables you to pick the PHP version for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), so if you want to move to a different version, you only need to activate ionCube Loader for it too.

If this is something you'd like to do but you do not have much experience, the 24/7 technical support team will help you quickly.
