Lots of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files in order to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you buy a paid script and you would like to set it up in a web hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without this, you won't be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it will not operate appropriately since most of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it can't be interpreted. That is why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a new hosting account and you'd like to use some paid web app. If you purchase a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added as the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every Linux web hosting that we supply and you're able to enable it anytime with only a few clicks, so you'll be able to employ script applications that need it. You're able to do that from the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it'll take to enable or disable ionCube is to click a button. The change will take effect within a minute, which means that you can go ahead and set up the app that you need without delay. The exact same section allows you to switch the PHP version which is active for your account, because we support numerous versions on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. In case you move to a release that you have not used so far, you will have to enable ionCube Loader again. Experienced users will be able to use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we provide, and you will not have any kind of problems if you'd like to install and work with some script app that requires the software tool to operate appropriately. Activating it is as easy as clicking a single button in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in less than a minute, so you'll be able to move forward with the application installation without any delays. For the reason that we use a cutting-edge custom-built platform and we support a number of versions of PHP simultaneously, you will need to activate ionCube any time you move to a version that you haven't used before. You will also 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 a few lines of code within it.
