Lots of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, 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 that, so if you buy a paid script and you'd like to install it in a hosting account, a tool known as ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without it, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow find a way to do this, it will not operate efficiently due to the fact that almost all of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it can't be interpreted. That's why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a new hosting account and you want to use some paid web app. If you purchase a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added because the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Web Hosting

When you buy a web hosting plan from our company, it will be created on our custom cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you will not have any problems to manage any script application that needs the tool so as to function properly. We also supply several different versions of PHP, therefore in case you change the version, you'll have to activate ionCube again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, which means that in case you switch back to the previous release 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 area of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Each adjustment that you make takes literally just a mouse-click and it will take effect right away.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is available with all the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we provide, which means that you won't encounter any kind of problems in case you'd like to set up and use a script application that requires the instrument to function appropriately. Activating it is as simple as clicking a single button in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in less than a minute, which means that you're able to move forward with the app installation without delay. As we employ a cutting-edge custom-made platform and we support a number of versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to activate ionCube any 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 version different from the one in the account as a whole by creating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a couple of lines of code inside it.
