Plenty of script-driven applications, particularly paid cms, encode their files to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an application known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you'd like to set it up in a web hosting account, a software tool called ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without this, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it won't work efficiently since almost all of the script code will be encoded to a point where it can't be interpreted. That is why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a new hosting account and you wish to work with some paid web application. If you buy a shared hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added as the whole server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Web Hosting

IonCube Loader comes with all the web hosting plans that we supply, so every time you require it in order to set up and execute a script application that requires it, you can activate it with a single click inside the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. As you can change the PHP version that is active for your account in the same section, you need to activate the tool for every new version which you set. If you're more experienced, you can employ a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for that particular website only, without affecting the entire account. In this way you are able to operate both new and older script applications for multiple sites inside the same account - a thing that you can't do with lots of other website hosting providers out there.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Due to the fact that all 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 application which requires this tool so as to run effectively. With a couple of clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you will be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that's currently active for the account. As we support multiple versions of PHP concurrently, you'll need to do that each and every time you switch to a new release, and when you revert back to a release which you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have a couple of websites inside the same account and they require different releases of PHP, you will be able to set up a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with a couple of lines of program code you can define both the PHP release and the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the website hosting account altogether.
