Plenty of script-driven apps, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files in order to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you obtain a paid script and you wish to install it in a website hosting account, a software tool known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without this, you will not be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it won't function properly since most of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it can't be interpreted. That's why, you should make sure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a new web hosting account and you want to work with some paid web app. If you get a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with every single shared website hosting that we supply and you're able to activate it anytime with only a few clicks, so you can employ script apps that need it. You can do that from the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to enable or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change takes effect in a minute, which means that you will be able to proceed and set up the app that you'd like without delay. The very same section will allow you to change the PHP release that is active for your account, as we support a number of versions on our advanced cloud platform. If you move to a release that you have never used to date, you will need to enable ionCube Loader again. Experienced users can use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder in order to set a PHP release different from the one for the whole account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each semi-dedicated server account which is created on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform has ionCube Loader support, which means that you'll be able to set up any kind of script app which requires the software tool. Then use it to launch and maintain your world wide web presence. You can enable ionCube through the PHP Configuration section of the Control Panel and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. The change will take effect instantly, which means that you can proceed and set up the needed script inside your account. If you choose to switch the PHP version which is active for the account, you'll need to activate ionCube for the new release too. Our custom-made platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each and every domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you are able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
