A lot of script-driven apps, especially paid content management systems, encode their files in order to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you get a paid script and you intend to set it up in a hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without it, you cannot install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it will not function efficiently due to the fact that most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a new website hosting account and you want to use some paid web application. If you get a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added since the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting

When you get a cloud web hosting through us, it will be created on our custom cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any problems to manage any script app which requires the tool to function appropriately. In addition, we offer a few different releases of PHP, so if you switch the version, you'll need to activate ionCube again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, so when you go back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Any adjustment that you do takes literally just a single click and it takes effect immediately.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is available with all semi-dedicated servers that we provide, so you won't have any problems in case you would like to set up and use some script application that requires the tool in order to function appropriately. Activating it is as easy as clicking a button inside the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in a minute, therefore you will be able to move forward with the application set up without any delays. As we employ an innovative custom-made platform and we support many different versions of PHP at the same time, you'll have to enable ionCube any time you move to a version that you have not used before. In addition, you'll have the option to enable ionCube loader or even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by generating a php.ini file in an individual domain or subdomain folder and adding a few lines of code within it.
