A lot of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files so as to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you obtain a paid script and you wish to install it in a hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader must be present on the server. Without it, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it won't work effectively for the reason that almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a new website hosting account and you would like to employ some paid web app. If you buy a shared website hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added as the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every cloud website hosting service that we provide and you can enable it anytime with only a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to work with script apps that require it. You are able to do that from the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to enable or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change will take effect within a minute, therefore you're able to go ahead and set up the app that you'd like right away. The same section allows you to change the PHP release that's active for your account, because we support a variety of versions on our cutting-edge cloud platform. In case you move to a version that you have never used so far, you will have to activate ionCube Loader once again. Experienced users will be able to use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder in order to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Since all the semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you will be able to use any script app which requires this tool to function effectively. With a couple of clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you are able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that's currently active for your account. Because we support a couple of releases of PHP simultaneously, you'll need to do this every time you move to a different version, and if you revert back to a release which you have already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. When you have a couple of sites inside the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you are able to create a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you are able to define both the PHP version plus the status of ionCube no matter what is selected for the hosting account altogether.
