IonCube Loader is a software tool, that's required to run files that are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an app designed to make PHP code human unreadable, to protect it from reverse engineering and / or not authorized usage. Plenty of script-driven apps, in particular forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, so if you purchase a script and you find that ionCube is one of the hosting environment requirements, you should make sure that your web hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it is not that difficult to set it up when you have your own server, it is close to impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server due to the fact that the PHP environment should be precompiled and all the clients on the server shall be affected.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

When you buy a cloud hosting through us, it'll be created on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any problems to run any script application which requires the instrument in order to run properly. Furthermore, we provide a few different versions of PHP, which means that if you change the version, you need to enable ionCube again. Our system remembers the changes you make, so in case you move back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. Both the PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be managed through the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Each adjustment that you do takes literally just a click and it will take effect immediately.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Due to the fact that all of the semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you'll be able to use any script application that requires the tool so as to work properly. With just a few clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that's currently active for the account. Since we support multiple releases of PHP at the same time, you will have to do that each time you move to a different version, but when you revert back to a version that you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. In case you have several sites in the same account and they require different releases of PHP, you can create a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you're able to define both the PHP release plus the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the hosting account as a whole.
