Plenty of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encode their files so as to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you obtain a paid script and you wish to set it up in a web hosting account, a software tool called ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without this, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it will not operate appropriately due to the fact that almost all of the script code will be encoded to a point where it can't be interpreted. That's why, you have to ensure that ionCube Loader is installed if you get a new hosting account and you would like to work with some paid web app. If you purchase a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added as your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is installed on all of the web servers that are part of our cloud hosting platform, therefore regardless of the Linux shared website hosting that you pick during the signup process, you can activate it from your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as easy as right-clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first hosting account ever, you won't need to do anything complex. The exact same section enables you to choose 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 would like to switch to another version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. As our platform is rather flexible, you can even set another PHP version and another status of ionCube using a php.ini file in every domain folder. If this is something you'd like to do but you do not have much experience, the 24/7 tech support team will be able to assist you very quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Each semi-dedicated server account which is generated on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform comes with ionCube Loader support, and you can set up any kind of script application that needs the tool. Then employ it in order to start and maintain your web presence. You can activate ionCube from 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 without delay, which means that you are able to go ahead and set up the necessary script inside your account. If you choose to change the PHP version which is active for the account, you should activate ionCube for the new release too. Our in-house made platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each domain or subdomain, which is done with a php.ini file in every domain folder. In the same way, you are able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each site hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
