Plenty of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encrypt their files to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you intend to set it up in a website hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without this, you will not be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it won't work effectively since almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a new website hosting account and you want to work with some paid web app. If you get a shared website 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 Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each website hosting that we provide and you are able to activate it at any time with just a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to use script applications which require it. You'll be able to do this from the PHP Configuration section of the Hepsia Control Panel and all it'll take to enable or disable ionCube is to click a single button. The change takes effect in a minute, therefore you'll be able to proceed and install the app that you'd like without delay. The very same section will allow you to change the PHP version which is active for your account, because we support a variety of versions on our state-of-the-art cloud platform. In case you move to a version that you've never used to date, you'll have to activate ionCube Loader again. More advanced users will be able to use a php.ini file in a particular domain folder to set a PHP release different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

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