Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app named ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you'd like to set it up in a website hosting account, a software instrument called ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without this, you can't install the script or if you somehow find a way to do this, it will not work properly for the reason that almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you have to ensure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a new hosting account and you would like to employ some paid web app. If you get a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added because your entire server PHP environment will have to be compiled again.
IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting
When you purchase a cloud website hosting plan from us, it will be created on our tailor-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already set up, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script app that requires the instrument to function properly. In addition, we supply a few different releases of PHP, so if you switch the version, you will have to enable ionCube once again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, which means that if you switch back to the previous version of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version as well as the ionCube instrument can be operated through the PHP Configuration part of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Every adjustment that you do takes literally just a click and it'll take effect instantly.
