A lot of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you obtain a paid script and you intend to set it up in a hosting account, a tool known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without having it, you will not be able to install the script or in case you somehow manage to do this, it won't function properly because almost all of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it can't be interpreted. That is why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a new hosting account and you want to employ some paid web application. If you get a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all the shared website hosting plans which we offer, so any time you need it in order to set up and run some script app that requires it, you can enable it with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Since you are able to switch the PHP version that is active for your account in the same section, you will have to enable the instrument for every new version which you set. When you are more skillful, you will be 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 site only, without affecting the whole account. This way you're able to operate both new and older script apps for multiple sites inside the same account - something that you will not be able to do with numerous other web hosting providers available on the market.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Because all of the semi-dedicated server accounts are set up on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you'll be able to use any script application which requires the tool to work properly. 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 is currently active for your account. Because we support multiple releases of PHP at the same time, you'll have to do this each and every time you move to a different release, and if you revert back to a version which you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be activated. When you have several sites inside the same account and they require different versions of PHP, you can create a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with a couple of lines of code you are able to define both the PHP release plus the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the hosting account altogether.
