Plenty of script-driven applications, particularly paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application called ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you obtain a paid script and you'd like to install it in a website hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without it, you can't install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it will not function effectively as most of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you should ensure that ionCube Loader is installed if you get a new hosting account and you would like to take advantage of some paid web application. If you obtain a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added as the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

IonCube Loader is available with all of the cloud hosting plans which we offer, so any time you require it to install and execute a script application that requires it, you can activate it with a click from the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel. Because you'll be able to change the PHP version that's active for your account in the same section, you'll need to activate the tool for each new version which you set. When you are more skillful, you're able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular website only, without affecting the entire account. Thus you can operate both new and older script apps for multiple sites in the same account - something that you cannot do with a lot of other website hosting service providers on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Due to the fact that all the semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you'll be able to use any script app which requires the tool so as to function properly. With several clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for your account. Since we support several releases of PHP at the same time, you will have to do that any time you switch to a different version, and when you revert back to a version which you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be active. When you have several sites in the same account and they require different versions of PHP, you will be able to create a php.ini file in each domain folder and with several lines of program code you will be able to define both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the hosting account altogether.
