A lot of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, encode their files to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you obtain a paid script and you want to install it in a hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without this, you cannot install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it won't function efficiently since most of the script code will be encoded to a point where it can't be interpreted. That is why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a fresh website hosting account and you would like to work with some paid web application. If you get a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added because the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all the cloud hosting packages which we supply, so when you need it to install and execute some script application which requires it, you can activate it with a click inside the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Because you're able to change the PHP release that is active for your account in the same section, you need to activate the tool for each new version that you set. When you are more experienced, you are able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the entire account. This way you're able to manage both new and older script applications for multiple sites inside the same account - a thing that you can't do with a lot of other web hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Every single semi-dedicated server account which is created on our outstanding cloud hosting platform includes ionCube Loader support, and you will be able to install any script application that needs the software tool. Then employ it to launch and maintain your online presence. You can activate ionCube from the PHP Configuration area of the Control Panel and it will take you no more than a few clicks to do that. Your change will take effect immediately, which means that you can proceed and install the needed script inside your account. If you decide to change the PHP version that is active for the account, you'll need to activate ionCube for the new version as well. Our in-house built platform also allows you to have a different PHP release for each domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you're able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
