A lot of script-driven apps, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you want to install it in a website hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or if you somehow find a way to do that, it won't work appropriately as almost all of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it can't be interpreted. That's why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a new hosting account and you'd like to work with some paid web app. If you buy a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Hosting

If you get a Linux cloud hosting through us, it will be created on our custom-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any kind of problems to run any script app that needs the instrument to function appropriately. We also provide several different versions of PHP, which means that if you change the version, you'll have to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, which means that if you go back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Any change that you do takes literally just a single click and it will take effect immediately.
