A lot of script-driven apps, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files in order to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so, in case you buy a paid script and you would like to set it up in a website hosting account, a tool known as ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without this, you can't install the script or if you somehow find a way to do this, it won't function efficiently for the reason that most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a fresh web hosting account and you would like to use some paid web application. If you acquire a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added because the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Shared Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is a part of all of the web servers that are part of our cloud web hosting platform, so whatever the Linux shared web hosting plan that you choose during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it through your Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as simple as right-clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first hosting account ever, you won't have to do anything complicated. The same section will allow you to choose the PHP release 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 if you would like to switch to some other version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. As our platform is very flexible, you can set a different PHP version and another status of ionCube using a php.ini file in each domain folder. In case this is something you'd like to do but you do not have much experience, our 24/7 technical support team will be able to help you in no time.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each semi-dedicated server account which is generated on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform includes ionCube Loader support, so you'll be able to set up any script app which needs the software tool. Then employ it in order to start and maintain your internet presence. You can activate ionCube from the PHP Configuration section of your Control Panel and it will take you no more than a few clicks to do this. The change will take effect instantly, which means that you will be able to go ahead and install the needed script in your account. If you choose to switch the PHP version that is active for the account, you should enable ionCube for the new release too. Our custom-made platform also allows you to have a different PHP release for each and every domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in every domain folder. In the same way, you can enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
