IonCube
What is IonCube? How exactly does IonCube work and do you really need it for your PHP apps?
Plenty of script-driven applications, especially paid content management systems, encode their files so as to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so, in case you obtain a paid script and you wish to set it up in a website hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without this, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it won't work appropriately due to the fact that most of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a new hosting account and you'd like to use some paid web application. If you obtain a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting
If you buy a Linux cloud hosting through us, it will be set up on our in-house built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script application which needs the instrument to run properly. Furthermore, we provide a few different versions of PHP, so in case you change the version, you need to activate ionCube again. Our system remembers the changes you make, and in case you go back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be operated through the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each change that you make takes literally just a single click and it takes effect instantly.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single
semi-dedicated server account that's set up on our cutting-edge cloud website hosting platform includes ionCube Loader support, and you'll be able to install any script application that requires the tool. Then use it in order to start and maintain your web presence. You can enable ionCube through the PHP Configuration section of your Control Panel and it will take you just a few clicks to do that. Your change will take effect immediately, which means that you're able to go ahead and set up the necessary script in your account. If you'd like to switch the PHP version that is active for the account, you will have to enable ionCube for the new version too. Our tailor-made platform also allows you to have a different PHP version for each domain or subdomain, that is done with a php.ini file in every domain folder. In the same way, you can enable/disable ionCube Loader for each individual site hosted in your semi-dedicated account.
