Plenty of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encode their files so as to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you get a paid script and you intend to set it up in a website hosting account, a tool called ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or in case you somehow manage to do that, it won't work effectively as almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is installed if you get a fresh web hosting account and you would like to work with some paid web app. If you get a shared hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added because the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every Linux website hosting that we provide and you will be able to activate it anytime with just a few clicks, so you'll be able to take advantage of script applications that require it. You are able to do that from the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to activate or disable ionCube is to click a button. The change will take effect in a minute, which means that you are able to go ahead and install the application that you need right away. The same section will allow you to change the PHP release that is active for your account, because we support a number of releases on our cutting-edge cloud hosting platform. If you switch to a release that you've never used so far, you'll have to enable ionCube Loader again. More advanced users will be able to use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder to set a PHP version different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

As all of the semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you will be able to use any script application which needs this tool to run efficiently. With several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel you can activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for your account. Since we support several versions of PHP concurrently, you'll have to do that each and every time you switch to a different release, and when you revert back to a release that you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have several websites in the same account and they require different releases of PHP, you will be able to set up a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you'll be able to define both the PHP release as well as the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the hosting account as a whole.
