A lot of script-driven apps, particularly paid content management systems, encode their files to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you buy a paid script and you intend to set it up in a hosting account, a software instrument known as ionCube Loader must be present on the server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or in case you somehow manage to do that, it will not operate properly since almost all of the script code will be encoded to a point where it can't be interpreted. In this light, you should make sure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a new website hosting account and you wish to use some paid web application. If you get a shared website hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added since the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

When you aquire a cloud website hosting plan through our company, it'll be created on our in-house made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script application that needs the tool so as to function appropriately. We also offer a few different versions of PHP, so if you change the version, you'll have to activate ionCube once again. Our system remembers the changes you make, and in case you switch back to the earlier release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be operated from the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every adjustment that you make takes literally just a click and it will take effect without delay.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Because all the semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you'll be able to use any script app that requires the software tool to run effectively. With a couple of clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you'll be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for your account. Because we support multiple releases of PHP at the same time, you'll have to do this any time you switch 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 in the same account and they require different versions of PHP, you can create a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you'll be able to define both the PHP version and the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the website hosting account altogether.
