Lots of script-driven applications, particularly paid cms, encode their files in order to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you get a paid script and you'd like to install it in a website hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without this, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it won't operate efficiently as almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it can't be interpreted. That's why, you should make sure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a new website hosting account and you'd like to take advantage of some paid web application. If you acquire a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added as the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

If you obtain a cloud website hosting plan from us, it'll be created on our custom cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you will not have any kind of problems to run any script application which requires the instrument so as to run properly. Furthermore, we provide several different versions of PHP, so if you change the version, you need to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and in case you move back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be managed through the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Each change that you make takes literally just a click and it will take effect immediately.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you buy a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you'll be able to take advantage of any kind of script-driven app which needs ionCube Loader for the reason that the software tool is available on all the servers which are part of our innovative cloud web hosting platform. We also support multiple releases of PHP, so if you move from PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, for example, you can enable ionCube for this particular release with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our system will remember your choice, and if you switch back to the earlier version of PHP, the tool will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also offer the option to choose the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain name without altering the settings for the whole hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file within a domain folder with several lines of code.
