IonCube
Learn what IonCube is and also why it’s set up on nearly every server running PHP today.
A lot of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files in order to make sure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you purchase a paid script and you would like to set it up in a hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader must be present on your server. Without it, you cannot install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do this, it won't operate properly for the reason that most of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you should ensure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to employ some paid web app. If you purchase a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Hosting
IonCube Loader is present on all of the web servers which are a part of our cloud hosting platform, therefore irrespective of the
Linux hosting package that you select during the signup process, you will be able to enable it from the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as easy as right-clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first website hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complex. The same section allows you to select the PHP version for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), so if you choose to move to a different version, you only need to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. Due to the fact that our platform is really flexible, you can set another PHP version and a different status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in each domain folder. If this is something you would like to do but you do not have much experience, the 24/7 technical support team will assist you in no time.

semi-dedicated server package from our company, you'll be able to use any kind of script-driven application which requires ionCube Loader for the reason that the software tool is available on all of the servers which are part of our modern cloud website hosting platform. In addition, we support different releases of PHP, which means that if you move from PHP 4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, for instance, you can activate ionCube for this particular release with only a click in your Hepsia Control Panel. Our system will remember your decision, so if you move back to the earlier version of PHP, the software tool will already be active. For more tech-savvy users, we also provide the option to choose the PHP version and whether ionCube will be active or not for a particular domain name without altering the settings for the entire hosting account. This is done by putting a php.ini file within a domain folder with several lines of program code.
