Lots of script-driven apps, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files so as to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an application known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you buy a paid script and you'd like to install it in a web hosting account, a software instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without having it, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow find a way to do that, it will not work effectively due to the fact that almost all of the script code will be encoded to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to work with some paid web app. If you purchase a shared website hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added since the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting

If you get a cloud web hosting plan from us, it will be created on our custom cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you will not have any problems to manage any script app which requires the instrument so as to function appropriately. Furthermore, we provide a few different versions of PHP, which means that if you change the version, you need to enable ionCube once again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, so when you move back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed through the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Each adjustment that you do takes literally just a click and it'll take effect at once.
