What is ionCube?

ionCube is a British software development company. They offer various tools to protect your PHP software from running on unlicensed computers and to prevent editing or theft of the source code. One of their most popular tools is the ionCube Loader. This PHP extension reads and executes encoded files at runtime. This ensures that the server can read your encrypted PHP code, but the human user cannot.

How the ionCube loader works

The principle of operation is simple:

A developer encodes PHP files using ionCube Encoder.
The script is located on server
ionCube Loader decrypts code at runtime
The user gets access to the functionality, but not to the source code.

This allows:

protect intellectual property
integrate a licensing system
restrict the use of the script by domain or IP
prevent code copying

Our ionCube PHP hosting supports current versions of PHP and ensures compatibility with most commercial solutions.
