Lots of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an application known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you get a paid script and you'd like to set it up in a hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without having it, you won't be able to install the script or if you somehow find a way to do this, it won't function effectively for the reason that most of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it can't be interpreted. That's why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a new hosting account and you would like to use some paid web application. If you get a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Hosting

IonCube Loader is supplied with each and every Linux hosting service that we provide and you can enable it anytime with only a couple of clicks, so you'll be able to employ script apps that require it. You're able to do this through the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it will take to enable or deactivate ionCube is to click a single button. The change will take effect within a minute, therefore you are able to go ahead and set up the application that you would like right away. The very same section will allow you to switch the PHP release which is active for your account, because we support a variety of releases on our leading-edge cloud platform. In case you move to a release that you have not used to date, you will have to activate ionCube Loader again. Experienced users can use a php.ini file in a specific domain folder in order to set a PHP release different from the one for the entire account or enable/disable ionCube Loader.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you aquire a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to employ any script-driven application which needs ionCube Loader due to the fact that the tool comes with all servers which are a part of our revolutionary cloud web hosting platform. Furthermore, we support several releases of PHP, and if you switch from PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, for example, you can activate ionCube for that particular version with just a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so if you move back to the previous release of PHP, the software tool will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also offer the option to select the PHP version and if ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the entire web hosting account. This can be done by putting a php.ini file inside a domain folder with a couple of lines of program code.
