Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you purchase a paid script and you intend to install it in a website hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without this, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it won't work effectively due to the fact that most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you should ensure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a new website hosting account and you want to work with some paid web app. If you obtain a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added since your entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all cloud hosting packages which we offer, so any time you require it to install and execute a script app that requires it, you can enable it with a single click inside the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can switch the PHP version that's active for your account from the same section, you will have to activate the instrument for every new version that you set. If you are more experienced, you're able to take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for that particular site only, without affecting the whole account. This way you're able to manage both new and older script apps for multiple websites inside the same account - a thing that you can't do with lots of other web hosting suppliers out there.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is provided with all the semi-dedicated servers that we provide, and you won't experience any problems if you'd like to set up and use some script application that requires the tool to function appropriately. Activating it is as simple as clicking a single button inside the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in less than a minute, so you'll be able to proceed with the application set up without delay. Because we use an avant-garde custom platform and we support a number of versions of PHP at the same time, you will need to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you have not used before. In addition, you'll have the option to enable ionCube loader and 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 within it.
