Lots of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files so as to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you purchase a paid script and you wish to install it in a hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without it, you won't be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it won't work appropriately for the reason that almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to work with some paid web app. If you obtain a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added as the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all web hosting packages which we offer, so any time you need it in order to install and execute some script application that requires it, you can enable it with a click from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Since you are able to switch the PHP version which is active for your account in the same section, you will have to enable the instrument for every new version that you set. In case you are more experienced, you are able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for this particular site only, without affecting the whole account. This way you are able to manage both new and older script apps for multiple websites within the same account - a thing that you will not be able to do with various other hosting suppliers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is available with all the semi-dedicated servers that we offer, which means that you will not have any problems if you would like to set up and use some script application which requires the tool to function properly. Enabling it is as easy as clicking a button inside the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in a minute, so you can proceed with the app installation without any delays. Due to the fact that we employ an innovative in-house made platform and we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll need to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you have not used before. You will also have the option to enable ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by making a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a couple of lines of code in it.
