IonCube Loader is a software instrument, which is needed to run files which are protected 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. Plenty of script-driven apps, particularly discussion boards, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that if you obtain a script and you find that ionCube is among the website hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your website hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Although it is not that hard to install it when you have your own server, it is close to impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server for the reason that the PHP environment should be precompiled and all clients on the server will be affected.
IonCube in Web Hosting
IonCube Loader is installed on all the web servers that are a part of our cloud hosting platform, which means that regardless of the Linux web hosting that you choose during the signup process, you can activate it through your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this is your first web hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complicated. The same section will allow you to pick the PHP release for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5), so if you would like to switch to a different version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Due to the fact that our platform is very flexible, you can set a different PHP version and a different status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in every domain folder. If this is something you want to do but you don't have much experience, the 24/7 technical support team will be able to help you within minutes.
IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
Each semi-dedicated server account that is generated on our cutting-edge cloud web hosting platform has ionCube Loader support, so you can set up any kind of script app that needs the software tool. Then employ it to start and maintain your world wide web presence. You can enable ionCube through the PHP Configuration section of your Control Panel and it will take you only a couple of clicks to do that. The change will take effect immediately, which means that you can go ahead and install the needed script in your account. If you decide to change the PHP version that's active for the account, you will have to enable ionCube for the new release as well. Our tailor-made platform also allows you to have a different PHP release for each and every domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in every domain folder. In the same way, you will be able to enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual website hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
