IonCube Loader is a software instrument, which is needed to run files that are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application which is used to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering and / or unauthorized usage. Numerous script-driven apps, in particular message boards, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, so if you buy a script and you notice that ionCube is among the web hosting environment prerequisites, you need to ensure that your website hosting server has the tool pre-installed. While it's not that hard to set it up when you have your own server, it's close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server as the PHP environment should be precompiled and all the clients on the server will be affected.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

If you aquire a cloud hosting package from us, it will be created on our custom-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any problems to manage any script app that needs the tool to function appropriately. In addition, we offer you several different releases of PHP, so in case you switch the version, you'll need to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, so if you switch back to the previous 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 operated from the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a click and it'll take effect right away.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we provide, so you will not experience any problems in case you'd like to install and use some script app which requires the tool in order to function appropriately. Enabling it is as simple as clicking a button in the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in a minute, therefore you are able to proceed with the application set up without any delays. Because we use a revolutionary custom-made platform and we support multiple versions of PHP at the same time, you will need to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you have not used before. In addition, you'll have the option to activate ionCube loader and even to set a PHP release different from the one in the account as a whole by creating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding several lines of code within it.
