IonCube Loader is a software instrument, which is required to run files which are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application used 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, especially message boards, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore when you buy a script and you find that ionCube is one of the website hosting environment requirements, you need to make sure that your hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Although it's not that difficult to install it when you have your own server, it's close to impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server for the reason that the PHP environment shall have to be precompiled and all the clients on the server shall be affected.

IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all of the cloud website hosting packages which we supply, so every time you require it to set up and execute some script app that needs it, you can activate it with a single click in the Advanced area of your Hepsia Control Panel. Because you can switch the PHP version that's active for your account from the same section, you will have to enable the tool for every new version which you set. In case you are more skillful, you're able to use a php.ini file in a domain or subdomain folder and set both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube Loader for this particular website only, without affecting the whole account. Thus you are able to run both new and older script apps for multiple sites in the same account - a thing that you won't be able to do with a lot of other website hosting providers out there.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Due to the fact that 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 application that requires the tool to run effectively. With just a few clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you're able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version that is currently active for your account. Since we support several versions of PHP concurrently, you will need to do that each and every time you switch to a different version, 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 activated. If you have multiple websites in the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you are able to create a php.ini file in each domain folder and with several lines of program code you'll be able to define both the PHP version as well as the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the web hosting account as a whole.
