Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encrypt their files so as to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so if you acquire a paid script and you'd like to set it up in a web hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without it, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it won't work appropriately since most of the script code will be encoded to a point where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a fresh website hosting account and you wish to take advantage of some paid web app. If you obtain a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added as the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Cloud Hosting
If you buy a cloud plan from us, it will be created on our custom cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you will not have any kind of problems to manage any script app which needs the tool in order to run appropriately. In addition, we offer a few different versions of PHP, so if you change the version, you need to activate ionCube again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, which means that when you switch back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube tool can be managed through the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every change that you do takes literally just a click and it'll take effect right away.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
IonCube Loader is available with all the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we provide, and you won't encounter any problems in case you'd like to install and use a script application that requires the software tool in order to operate appropriately. Enabling it is as easy as clicking a button in the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in less than a minute, therefore you are able to move forward with the app set up without delay. Due to the fact that we use a cutting-edge custom-built platform and we support a number of versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll need to enable ionCube any time you move to a version that you haven't used before. You will also have the option to enable ionCube loader or even to set a PHP release 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.
