IonCube Loader is a software instrument, that is necessary to run files that are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application designed to make PHP code human unreadable, as a way to protect it from reverse engineering or unauthorized usage. A great number of script-driven applications, particularly forums, cms and e-commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, so when you acquire a script and you find that ionCube is among the hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it is not that hard to install it when you have your own server, it's almost impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server due to the fact that the PHP environment shall have to be precompiled and all clients on the server shall be affected.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
When you get a Linux shared plan through us, it'll be created on our in-house made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script app that needs the instrument so as to run appropriately. Furthermore, we offer you several different releases of PHP, therefore in case you change the version, you'll need to activate ionCube once again. Our system remembers the changes you make, so in case you switch back to the previous release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a single click and it will take effect instantly.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
As 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 that requires the software tool so as to work efficiently. With several 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 several versions of PHP at the same time, you will have to do that any time you move to a new version, but when you revert back to a version which you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be activated. In case you have a couple of websites in the same account and they need different releases of PHP, you can set up a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with several lines of program code you will be able to define both the PHP release and the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the website hosting account altogether.
