Lots of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encrypt their files in order to ensure 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 when you buy a paid script and you wish to set it up in a website hosting account, a software tool called ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without it, you won't be able to install the script or in case 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 can't be interpreted. That's why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a new web hosting account and you would like to work with some paid web app. If you acquire a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added as the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every cloud hosting that we offer and you're able to enable it at any time with just a couple of clicks, so you can employ script apps which need it. You're able to do that from the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it takes to activate or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change takes effect in a minute, therefore you're able to proceed and install the app that you'd like right away. The exact same section allows you to change the PHP release which is active for your account, as we support numerous releases on our hi-tech cloud hosting platform. If you switch to a version that you have not used so far, you will have to enable ionCube Loader once again. Experienced users can use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder so as to set a PHP version different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

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 will be able to use any script application which requires this tool in order to run efficiently. With several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel you'll be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for the account. Since we support multiple releases of PHP at the same time, you will need to do that each and every time you move to a new release, and if you revert back to a version which you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. When you have multiple websites inside the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you can set up a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you will be able to define both the PHP version plus the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
