A lot of script-driven applications, especially paid content management systems, encode their files to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you get a paid script and you would like to set it up in a web hosting account, a software tool known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it won't work effectively since almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it can't be interpreted. In this light, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a new 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 cannot be added since your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
When you obtain a Linux shared hosting from us, it'll be set up on our custom-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any kind of problems to run any script application which needs the instrument in order to run appropriately. Furthermore, we offer a few different releases of PHP, which means that if you change the version, you need to activate ionCube again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, which means that when you move back to the previous version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version and the ionCube tool can be operated through the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Any change that you make takes literally just a single click and it'll take effect immediately.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
IonCube Loader is provided with all the Linux semi-dedicated plans that we supply, so you will not experience any kind of problems if you would like to set up and use a script application that requires the instrument in order to function properly. Activating it is as simple as clicking a button inside the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in less than a minute, therefore you'll be able to proceed with the application installation without any delays. For the reason that we use an avant-garde tailor-made platform and we support several versions of PHP at the same time, you'll have to activate ionCube every time you move to a version that you haven't used before. In addition, you'll have the option to enable ionCube loader and even to set a PHP release 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 program code within it.
