Plenty of script-driven apps, particularly paid content management systems, encode their files so as to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so, in case you purchase a paid script and you want 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 won't function efficiently due to the fact that almost all of the script code will be encoded to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is installed if you get a fresh web hosting account and you'd like to employ some paid web app. If you acquire a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added because your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
If you buy a Linux shared hosting through us, it'll be created on our in-house built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script application that requires the tool so as to run properly. Furthermore, we offer several different releases of PHP, which means that in case you change the version, you will have to activate ionCube again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, so if you move back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version as well as the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Each change that you make takes literally just a single click and it takes effect right away.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
IonCube Loader is available with all of the semi-dedicated packages that we offer, which means that you will not have any kind of problems if you'd like to set up and work with some script app that requires the tool to operate appropriately. Enabling it is as simple as clicking a button in the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in a minute, therefore you'll be able to proceed with the application installation without any delays. Due to the fact that we use an innovative in-house made platform and we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to activate ionCube any time you move to a version that you have not used before. In addition, you'll have the option to activate ionCube loader or even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by creating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a few lines of code in it.
