limit script to 1 domain

Just wondering if there is a creative way to limit the use of a script to only 1 domain without the costs of programs like zend or ioncube

I know that everything can be hacked if you keep it fairly simple but I am not that concerned with it. Just want to have a basic hurdle.

Cheers,

Make a call (somewhere deep rooted in the code) which has to get a response from your server (for validation). If found process, else warning message / redirect log ips

So on my server a db with domains that are licenced and in the main setup and edit functions a call to me. guess that will stop most indeed..if they know enough of php they will probly build what I am thinking theirselfs

 

make sure you use a stable host otherwise people will get pissed when they cant access!

 

i know... that is why i figured if i go this route i will only make that call during setup and editing and not each and every time the script runs and a visitor comes to a site of a client of mine...that will a kill my bandwith and b have problems when my server is not available.
They will need to change some settings as a 1 on 1 copy is useless

 

then a lot of warez group will just null your script

 

ioncube will prevent that, right?
maybe I should take a closer look at it

 

I just saw that ioncube has an online thing where you can encode your script for about $1. (you have to buy credit of at least $5) I guess this is the way to go...
make a file with functions in it have the major things and a call to my server at setup and edit and encode it all. As it's encoded with the ioncube crypto it's a hard to null it...and yes I guess there are still ppl that are able to do it but this will set the bar high enough for me.

 

If you go the encrypted route just encrpt one key key script or segment. Many people will not buy a fully encrpted script for fear of future problems.

I also sent you a PM on another topic.

 

I agree...here at dp i will never sell a fully encrypted script..but at Warriorforum it's a differnet kind of story. But it's good advice to keep a lot open so ppl can modify things to their liking (i hate it myself when a script is encrypted)

Thanks
