Plenty of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encode their files to make sure 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'd like to set it up in a hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without having it, you will not be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it will not work appropriately because most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to work with some paid web application. If you buy a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added since your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is available on all web servers which are part of our cloud web hosting platform, so whatever the Linux web hosting that you pick during the signup process, you will be able to enable it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as right-clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you won't have to do anything complicated. The very same section enables you to select the PHP release for your account (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), and in case you choose to switch to a different version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. As our platform is rather flexible, you can set a different PHP version and another status of ionCube using a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you need to do but you do not have much experience, the 24/7 technical support team will assist you quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server account that's set up on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform comes with ionCube Loader support, and you can install any kind of script app which needs the tool. Then employ it in order to launch and maintain your world wide web presence. You can activate ionCube through the PHP Configuration section of your Control Panel and it will take you no more than a few clicks to do this. The change will take effect immediately, so you'll be able to go ahead and set up the needed script in your account. If you decide to switch the PHP version that's active for your account, you'll need to enable ionCube for the new release as well. Our in-house made platform also allows you to have a different PHP version 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.
