A lot of script-driven applications, especially paid content management systems, encrypt their files so as to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so if you get a paid script and you wish to install it in a website hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it will not operate properly due to the fact that most of the script code will be encoded to a point where it can't be interpreted. That is why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to take advantage of some paid web application. If you buy a shared web 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 Website Hosting
If you buy a Linux website hosting from us, it will be set up on our custom-made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you will not have any kind of problems to manage any script application that requires the tool in order to function properly. In addition, we supply a few different versions of PHP, so if you switch the version, you'll need to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and if you switch back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be operated from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Every adjustment that you do takes literally just a single click and it'll take effect immediately.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
IonCube Loader is provided with all semi-dedicated hosting that we provide, which means that you won't have any problems if you'd like to install and work with some script app that requires the instrument to function appropriately. Activating it is as easy as clicking a single button inside the Advanced section 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'll be able to move forward with the app set up without any delays. Due to the fact that we employ a hi-tech custom-made platform and we support several versions of PHP simultaneously, you will need to activate ionCube every time you switch to a version that you have not used before. In addition, you'll 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 making a php.ini file in an individual domain or subdomain folder and adding several lines of code inside it.
