IonCube Loader is a tool, that is necessary to run files which are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an application which is used to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering or illegal usage. Lots of script-driven applications, particularly forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, so when you get a script and you notice that ionCube is on the list of web hosting environment requirements, you have 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 due to the fact that the PHP environment shall have to be precompiled and all clients on the server will be affected.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

When you get a Linux shared hosting service through us, it will be set up on our tailor-made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you will not have any kind of problems to manage any script application that requires the instrument so as to run properly. In addition, we provide a few different releases of PHP, which means that if you change the version, you will have to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, which means that when you go back to the previous version of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version and the ionCube instrument can be operated from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Any adjustment that you do takes literally just a mouse-click and it'll take effect right away.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Hosting

IonCube Loader is provided with all the Linux semi-dedicated services that we offer, which means that you won't have any kind of problems if you would like to install and work with a script application which requires the tool in order to operate appropriately. Activating it is as easy as clicking a button in the Advanced section of the Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change shall take effect in a minute, which means that you are able to proceed with the application installation without any delays. Due to the fact that we employ an avant-garde custom-built platform and we support several versions of PHP simultaneously, you'll need to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you haven't used before. In addition, you'll have the option to activate ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by making a php.ini file in an individual domain or subdomain folder and adding a few lines of program code inside it.
