Plenty of script-driven applications, particularly paid content management systems, encrypt their files to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an application named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you wish to set it up in a web hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without it, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it will not work properly as almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a new hosting account and you'd like to employ some paid web app. If you acquire a shared website hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added because your entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Website Hosting

If you buy a Linux shared website hosting package from us, it'll be set up on our in-house made cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any problems to manage any script app that needs the instrument so as to run properly. Furthermore, we offer a few different versions of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you'll need to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the changes you make, so if you switch back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be turned on. Both the PHP version as well as the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Any adjustment that you do takes literally just a single click and it takes effect instantly.
