Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid content management systems, encrypt their files to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you'd like to install it in a web hosting account, a software tool known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without this, you can't install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it will not operate properly due to the fact that almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a fresh web hosting account and you want to use some paid web application. If you purchase a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added since the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all cloud website hosting plans that we provide, so when you need it in order to install and run a script application that requires it, you can activate it with a click from the Advanced section of your Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can change the PHP version which is active for your account from the same section, you'll need to enable the instrument for every new version which you set. When you're more experienced, you are able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the whole account. Thus you will be able to run both new and older script apps for multiple websites in the same account - something that you won't be able to do with a lot of other hosting suppliers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all the Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we supply, which means that you will not encounter any kind of problems if you would like to set up and work with some script app that requires the tool to operate properly. Activating it is as easy as clicking a button in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in a minute, which means that you will be able to proceed with the app set up without delay. As we use a revolutionary tailor-made platform and we support many different versions of PHP at the same time, you will need to enable ionCube any time you move to a version that you have not used before. In addition, you'll have the option to activate ionCube loader or even to set a PHP version 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 code within it.
