Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you get a paid script and you wish to set it up in a hosting account, a tool called ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without it, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it won't operate properly since most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a fresh website hosting account and you wish to use some paid web application. If you buy a shared hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added as your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

When you get a cloud hosting plan through us, it'll be created on our in-house made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any kind of problems to run any script app which requires the instrument in order to run appropriately. Furthermore, we offer a few different versions of PHP, so in case you switch the version, you'll have to enable ionCube again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, and if you go back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. Both the PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be managed from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every change that you do takes literally just a click and it takes effect instantly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is available with all the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we provide, and you will not experience any problems in case you'd like to install and work with some script app which requires the instrument so as to operate appropriately. Enabling it is as easy as clicking a button inside the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in less than a minute, which means that you are able to move forward with the app installation without delay. Since we use an innovative in-house built platform and we support a number of versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to activate ionCube every time you move to a version that you have not used before. Additionally, you have the option to enable ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by generating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding several lines of program code within it.
