Plenty of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encrypt their files so as to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so, in case you get a paid script and you would like to set it up in a website hosting account, a tool called ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it won't operate efficiently for the reason that almost all of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a new web hosting account and you want to employ some paid web application. If you acquire a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

If you purchase a Linux shared hosting through our company, it'll be created on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script application that requires the instrument to run properly. Furthermore, we offer you a few different releases of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you need to activate ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and when you switch back to the previous release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. Both the PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each change that you make takes literally just a click and it'll take effect instantly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting plans that we supply, which means that you will not experience any kind of problems if you'd like to set up and work with a script application which requires the tool so as to function appropriately. Activating it is as simple as clicking a single button in the Advanced part 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, therefore you can move forward with the application installation without delay. Due to the fact that we use a hi-tech custom platform and we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to activate ionCube any time you switch to a version that you have not used before. You will also 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 creating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding several lines of program code inside it.
