Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encrypt their files so as to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an application called ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so if you get a paid script and you wish to set it up in a website hosting account, a software tool known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without this, you cannot install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it won't operate efficiently as almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a fresh hosting account and you'd like to use some paid web app. If you acquire a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added because the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all of the cloud hosting packages which we provide, so if you require it to install and execute some script app which needs it, you can enable it with a single click from the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you can change the PHP release which is active for your account in the same section, you will have to enable the instrument for each new version that you set. When you're more experienced, you will be able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version and the status of ionCube Loader for that particular website only, without affecting the whole account. In this way you will be able to run both new and older script apps for multiple websites inside the same account - something that you will not be able to do with lots of other hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Because all semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you will be able to use any script application that needs the tool to function properly. With just a few clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you will be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for the account. Because we support multiple versions of PHP at the same time, you will need to do this each and every time you move to a new release, and if you revert back to a version that you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be activated. When you have multiple sites in the same account and they require different versions of PHP, you are able to create a php.ini file in each domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you will be able to define both the PHP release plus the status of ionCube no matter what is selected for the hosting account altogether.
