"> '); IonCube
IonCube Loader is a software instrument, which is needed to run files which are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an app that is used to make PHP code human unreadable, as a way to protect it from reverse engineering or illegal usage. A large number of script-driven applications, in particular discussion boards, cms and e-commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore if you get a script and you notice that ionCube is among the web hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your website hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. While it is not that difficult to set it up if you have your own server, it's almost impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server for the reason that the PHP environment shall have to be precompiled and all of the clients on the server will be affected.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting

If you buy a shared web hosting from our company, it'll be set up on our custom-built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any problems to manage any script application that needs the instrument so as to function appropriately. Furthermore, we offer you a few different releases of PHP, so in case you change the version, you will have to enable ionCube once again. Our system remembers the changes you make, so if you switch back to the previous version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a mouse-click and it takes effect without delay.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

Because all the semi-dedicated server accounts are created on our advanced cluster platform and ionCube Loader is available on it, you shall be able to use any script application which needs this software tool so as to work efficiently. With several clicks in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel you will be able to activate or deactivate ionCube for the PHP version which is currently active for the account. As we support multiple releases of PHP concurrently, you will need to do this every time you move to a different version, but if you revert back to a version that you've already used, our system will remember your preference and ionCube Loader will already be active. When you have several websites in the same account and they need different versions of PHP, you'll be able to set up a php.ini file in every single domain folder and with a couple of lines of code you will be able to define both the PHP release and the status of ionCube regardless of what is selected for the web hosting account as a whole.
