A lot of script-driven applications, particularly paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you get a paid script and you would like to set it up in a hosting account, a software instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without this, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow find a way to do that, it won't work effectively as almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a fresh web hosting account and you wish to use some paid web app. If you acquire a shared 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 Shared Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is a part of all web servers that are a part of our cloud hosting platform, therefore irrespective of the shared website hosting service that you get during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as easy as clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this is your first website hosting account ever, you won't need to do anything complicated. The very same section allows you to choose the PHP version for your account (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), which means that in case you would like to move to another version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Because our platform is flexible, you can set another PHP version and a different status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in every domain folder. In case this is something you need to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 support team will help you quickly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Every single semi-dedicated server account that is created on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform includes ionCube Loader support, which means that you can install any script application which needs the software tool. Then employ it in order to launch and maintain your online presence. You can enable ionCube through the PHP Configuration section of your Control Panel and it'll take you just a few clicks to do that. Your change takes effect instantly, which means that you are able to proceed and install the necessary script in your account. If you decide to change the PHP version that is active for your account, you'll have to activate ionCube for the new release too. Our custom-built platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each domain or subdomain, which is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you will be able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each site hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
