Lots of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files so as to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you intend to install it in a web hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without it, you can't install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it will not work effectively as almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a new website hosting account and you would like to employ some paid web app. If you get a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added because your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

When you get a cloud website hosting through us, it will be created on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you will not have any problems to run any script application which requires the instrument to run appropriately. We also offer you several different versions of PHP, therefore if you change the version, you'll have to enable ionCube again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, and if you go back to the previous release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be operated through the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a mouse-click and it takes effect without delay.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is available with all of the semi-dedicated servers that we offer, and you won't encounter any kind of problems in case you'd like to install and use some script app that requires the software tool to operate properly. Activating it is as easy as clicking a single button inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in a minute, so you are able to proceed with the app installation without delay. Due to the fact that we employ a revolutionary custom-made platform and we support several versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll need to enable ionCube every time you move to a version that you haven't used before. In addition, you'll have the option to activate ionCube loader or even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by making a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a few lines of program code in it.
