IonCube Loader is a tool, that is required to run files that are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application employed to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering and / or illegal use. A large number of script-driven apps, especially discussion boards, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, so if you acquire a script and you find that ionCube is on the list of website hosting environment prerequisites, you should make sure that your web hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it's not that difficult to set it up if you have your own server, it is almost impossible to do that on a shared hosting server since the PHP environment should be precompiled and all clients on the server will be affected.

IonCube in Web Hosting

When you obtain a web hosting through our company, it will be created on our in-house made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you will not have any problems to manage any script application which requires the tool in order to run appropriately. Furthermore, we offer you a few different versions of PHP, therefore in case you change the version, you will need to activate ionCube again. Our system remembers the changes you make, and if you move back to the previous release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be managed through the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a single click and it takes effect instantly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Since all the semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script app which needs the software tool in order to work efficiently. With just a few clicks in your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel you will be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for your account. Since we support a couple of versions of PHP simultaneously, you will have to do this any time you switch to a different release, but when you revert back to a version which you have already used, our system will remember your choice and ionCube Loader will already be active. In case you have a couple of websites inside the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you'll be able to create a php.ini file in each and every domain folder and with a couple of lines of code you will be able to define both the PHP release plus the status of ionCube no matter what is selected for the hosting account altogether.
