IonCube Loader is a software instrument, that's necessary to run files which are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application employed to make PHP code human unreadable, so as to protect it from reverse engineering and not authorized use. A large number of script-driven apps, in particular discussion forums, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, so when you purchase a script and you find that ionCube is on the list of web hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your website hosting server has the tool pre-installed. While it is not that difficult to set it up when you have your own server, it is close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server because the PHP environment should be precompiled and all of the clients on the server shall be affected.

IonCube in Hosting

When you get a hosting from our company, it'll be created on our custom-built cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you will not have any problems to manage any script application which requires the instrument to run appropriately. In addition, we provide several different versions of PHP, therefore in case you change the version, you'll have to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and when you move back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each adjustment that you do takes literally just a click and it takes effect at once.

IonCube in Semi-dedicated Servers

IonCube Loader is available with all Linux semi-dedicated servers that we provide, so you will not encounter any kind of problems in case you'd like to install and use some script app which requires the tool so as to operate properly. Activating it is as simple as clicking a button in the Advanced part of the Hepsia Control Panel which comes with all the semi-dedicated accounts and the change will take effect in less than a minute, which means that you're able to proceed with the application installation without delay. For the reason that we use a hi-tech in-house made platform and we support several versions of PHP at the same time, you will have to enable ionCube any time you switch to a version that you haven't used before. In addition, you'll have the option to enable ionCube loader and even to set a PHP version different from the one in the account as a whole by generating a php.ini file in a separate domain or subdomain folder and adding a few lines of program code in it.
