Plenty of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, encode their files in order to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so if you buy a paid script and you want to set it up in a web hosting account, a tool known as ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without it, you cannot install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it will not function effectively because almost all of the script code will be encoded to a point where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you have to ensure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a fresh hosting account and you wish to employ some paid web app. If you get a shared website hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting
If you aquire a Linux cloud web hosting through us, it'll be set up on our in-house built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you will not have any problems to manage any script application which needs the tool so as to run properly. We also offer you several different releases of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you need to enable ionCube again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, which means that in case you switch back to the earlier release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be operated from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Every adjustment that you do takes literally just a single click and it'll take effect instantly.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
Because all the 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 app which requires the software tool so as to work effectively. With just a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you can activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that's currently active for the account. As we support several versions of PHP concurrently, you will need to do that each time you switch to a different version, and when you revert back to a version which you've already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case 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 and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you are able to define both the PHP release as well as the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the website hosting account as a whole.
