A lot of script-driven apps, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you purchase a paid script and you'd like to set it up in a web hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without having it, you won't be able to install the script or if you somehow find a way to do this, it will not operate efficiently 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 website hosting account and you would like to work with some paid web application. If you purchase a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Website Hosting
If you aquire a Linux website hosting package from us, it will be created on our tailor-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you will not have any problems to run any script application that needs the instrument so as to run properly. In addition, we provide a few different versions of PHP, which means that in case you change the version, you need to enable ionCube again. Our system remembers the changes you make, so if you move back to the earlier release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be managed from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a click and it takes effect without delay.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Because all the 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 that requires the software tool so as to work properly. With just a few clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you are able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. Because we support multiple versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll have to do this every time you move to a new version, but when you revert back to a release that you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. When you have several websites inside the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you will be able to create a php.ini file in each domain folder and with several lines of code you can define both the PHP release as well as the status of ionCube irrespective of what is selected for the hosting account altogether.
