IonCube
What precisely is IonCube? Why is it present on nearly every present-day hosting server running PHP?
IonCube Loader is an instrument, which is required to run files which are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application used to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering and / or not authorized usage. Many script-driven applications, especially online forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, so when you get a script and you find that ionCube is one of the web hosting environment requirements, you should ensure that your website hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. While it's not that hard to install it if you have your own server, it is close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server for the reason that the PHP environment will have to be precompiled and all clients on the server shall be affected.
IonCube in Shared Hosting
When you buy a Linux shared package from us, it'll be created on our in-house built cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already present, so you won't have any problems to manage any script application which needs the tool so as to run properly. Furthermore, we provide several different releases of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you'll have to enable ionCube once again. Our system remembers the adjustments you make, so 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 managed through the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Every change that you make takes literally just a mouse-click and it'll take effect without delay.
