Plenty of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encrypt their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an application called ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you get a paid script and you would like to set it up in a website hosting account, an instrument called ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without it, you can't install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it won't work appropriately because most of the script code will be encoded to a point where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a new website hosting account and you'd like to take advantage of some paid web app. If you acquire a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added because your entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Cloud Web Hosting

IonCube Loader is present on all the web servers which are a part of our cloud website hosting platform, which means that irrespective of the Linux cloud web hosting that you get during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it through the Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first website hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complicated. The very same section enables you to choose the PHP release for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), and if you choose to move to some other version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well. As our platform is flexible, you can even set another PHP version and another status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in every domain folder. In case this is something you wish to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 technical support team will assist you within minutes.
