Plenty of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an application called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you purchase a paid script and you intend to set it up in a web hosting account, a tool called ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without it, you won't be able to install the script or in case you somehow manage to do that, it will not work properly due to the fact that most of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you have to ensure that ionCube Loader is set up when you get a new web hosting account and you wish to use some paid web application. If you obtain a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added as the entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.

IonCube in Shared Hosting

IonCube Loader is installed on all of the web servers which are a part of our cloud hosting platform, which means that irrespective of the shared hosting that you select during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it from your Hepsia Control Panel. The process is as simple as right-clicking an On/Off button inside the Advanced section, so even if this is your first hosting account ever, you won't have to do anything complex. The very same section enables you to choose the PHP version 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), which means that in case you would like to move to another version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Due to the fact that our platform is really flexible, you can even set some other PHP version and a different status of ionCube by employing a php.ini file in each domain folder. In case this is something you need to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 support team shall help you quickly.
