Lots of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encrypt their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you get a paid script and you would like to set it up in a website hosting account, a tool called ionCube Loader must be present on the server. Without having it, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it won't work efficiently for the reason that almost all of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to work with some paid web application. If you purchase a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is available with all of the cloud web hosting plans which we provide, so when you require it in order to install and run a script app which requires it, you can enable it with a click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Due to the fact that you'll be able to change the PHP version which is active for your account in the same section, you'll need to enable the instrument for every new version which you set. If you're more skillful, you are able to take advantage of 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 whole account. In this way you'll be able to run both new and older script apps for multiple websites within the same account - a thing that you can't do with lots of other web hosting service providers on the market.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
IonCube Loader is provided with all of the semi-dedicated plans that we supply, and you won't experience any kind of problems in case you would like to set up and use a script application which requires the software tool to operate properly. Activating it is as simple as clicking a single button inside the Advanced area of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all of the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in less than a minute, therefore you will be able to move forward with the app set up without delay. Due to the fact that we use a hi-tech custom-made platform and we support many different versions of PHP at the same time, you'll need to enable ionCube every time you move to a version that you haven't used before. You will also have the option to enable ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by generating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a couple of lines of program code in it.
