Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid content management systems, encrypt their files to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you acquire a paid script and you wish to set it up in a hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without this, you cannot install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it won't function appropriately as most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it can't be interpreted. That is why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a fresh hosting account and you would like to use some paid web app. If you acquire a shared website 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 Web Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all the cloud web hosting plans which we offer, so every time you need it to set up and run a script app that needs it, you can enable it with a click in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you're able to change the PHP release that's active for your account in the same section, you'll need to enable the instrument for each new version which you set. When you're more experienced, you can take advantage of a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for that particular site only, without affecting the entire account. In this way you're able to operate both new and older script applications for multiple sites inside the same account - a thing that you cannot do with various other hosting providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server package from our company, you will be able to take advantage of any kind of script-driven app that needs ionCube Loader for the reason that the tool is available on all the servers which are a part of our modern cloud web hosting platform. In addition, we support various versions of PHP, so if you switch from PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, for instance, you can enable ionCube for this particular release with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your choice, and if you switch back to the earlier release of PHP, the software tool will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also offer the option to pick the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a specific domain without altering the settings for the whole web hosting account. This is done by placing a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a few lines of code.
