IonCube Loader is an instrument, which is required to run files that are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an app employed to make PHP code human unreadable, to protect it from reverse engineering and / or not authorized use. Many script-driven apps, particularly community forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, so when you get a script and you find that ionCube is one of the website hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it's not that hard to install it when you have your own server, it's close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server as the PHP environment will have to be precompiled and all the clients on the server will be affected.

IonCube in Hosting

When you get a Linux hosting from our company, it'll be created on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any problems to run any script application which needs the instrument in order to function appropriately. Furthermore, we offer you a few different versions of PHP, therefore if you change the version, you will need to activate ionCube again. Our system remembers the changes you make, which means that when you switch back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be managed from the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Each change that you do takes literally just a click and it'll take effect right away.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Because all semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script application that needs the tool so as to work efficiently. With several clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. As we support multiple releases of PHP simultaneously, you'll have to do that any time you switch to a new release, but if you revert back to a version that you've already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be active. When you have several sites inside the same account and they require different releases of PHP, you can set up a php.ini file in each domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you're able to define both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube no matter what is selected for the web hosting account altogether.
