IonCube Loader is a tool, which is needed to run files that are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application which is used to make PHP code human unreadable, as a way to protect it from reverse engineering and unauthorized use. Lots of script-driven apps, especially online forums, content management systems and e-commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore if you purchase a script and you find that ionCube is one of the web hosting environment prerequisites, you need to make sure that your hosting server has the tool pre-installed. While 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 web hosting server as the PHP environment will have to be precompiled and all of the clients on the server shall be affected.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting

When you aquire a shared web hosting plan from us, it'll be created on our custom-built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any problems to manage any script application which requires the instrument so as to run appropriately. Furthermore, we supply several different versions of PHP, which means that if you change the version, you'll have to enable ionCube again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, so in case you switch back to the earlier version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. Both the PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be operated through the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every adjustment that you do takes literally just a mouse-click and it'll take effect at once.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every single semi-dedicated server account that's generated on our outstanding cloud hosting platform has ionCube Loader support, which means that you can set up any kind of script app that requires the software tool. Then use it to launch and maintain your online presence. You can activate ionCube through the PHP Configuration area of your Control Panel and it'll take you no more than a few clicks to do that. Your change will take effect instantly, which means that you can go ahead and install the needed script inside your account. If you decide to change the PHP version that's active for your account, you'll need to activate ionCube for the new release as well. Our in-house built platform also allows you to have a different PHP release for each domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in each domain folder. In the same way, you're able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual site hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
