IonCube Loader is a software tool, which is required to run files which are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an application designed to make PHP code human unreadable, as a way to protect it from reverse engineering and / or illegal usage. A great number of script-driven applications, particularly discussion forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore if you obtain a script and you find that ionCube is among the website hosting environment requirements, you need to ensure that your web hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Though it's not that hard to install it if you have your own server, it is close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server for the reason that the PHP environment should be precompiled and all the clients on the server shall be affected.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

When you get a shared website hosting from our company, it'll be set up on our tailor-made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you will not have any problems to manage any script app that requires the instrument to run appropriately. Furthermore, we offer several different versions of PHP, therefore if you change the version, you will need to enable ionCube once again. Our system remembers the changes you make, and when you go back to the earlier release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be operated from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Any adjustment that you make takes literally just a single click and it'll take effect instantly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server account which is set up on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform comes with ionCube Loader support, so you can set up any script app that requires the software tool. Then employ it to start and maintain your world wide web presence. You can enable ionCube from the PHP Configuration section of the Control Panel and it'll take you only a couple of clicks to do this. The change will take effect instantly, which means that you will be able to proceed and install the necessary script in your account. If you would like change the PHP version which is active for your account, you will need to activate ionCube for the new release as well. Our custom-made 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.
