IonCube Loader is an instrument, that's necessary to run files which are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an app employed to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering and / or illegal usage. Numerous script-driven applications, especially online forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore when you purchase a script and you find that ionCube is among the web hosting environment requirements, you need to ensure that your hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it's not that difficult to set it up when you have your own server, it's almost impossible to do that on a shared hosting server since the PHP environment should be precompiled and all of the clients on the server shall be affected.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

If you aquire a shared hosting plan through us, it'll be created on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you will not have any kind of problems to manage any script app which requires the instrument in order to function appropriately. Furthermore, we supply several different versions of PHP, which means that in case you change the version, you need to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and in case you go back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Each change that you do takes literally just a single click and it'll take effect right away.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you purchase a semi-dedicated server plan from our company, you will be able to use any script-driven app which requires ionCube Loader for the reason that the software tool is available on all servers which are part of our modern cloud web hosting platform. Furthermore, we support different releases of PHP, so if you switch from PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, for example, you can enable ionCube for that particular release with just a click from your Hepsia Control Panel. Our platform will remember your decision, so in case you switch back to the previous release of PHP, the instrument will already be active. For more experienced users, we also offer the option to select the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the entire website hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file in a domain folder with several lines of program code.
