IonCube Loader is a software tool, that's needed to run files that are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an app that is used to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering and / or not authorized use. Numerous script-driven apps, in particular forums, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are protected with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that if you purchase a script and you find that ionCube is one of the web hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your web hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Although it's not that hard to install it if you have your own server, it's almost impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server since the PHP environment shall have to be precompiled and all of the clients on the server will be affected.
IonCube in Cloud Website Hosting
When you buy a Linux cloud website hosting package from our company, it will be created on our custom cloud hosting platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script app which needs the tool to function properly. In addition, we offer you a few different releases of PHP, therefore in case you switch the version, you will have to enable ionCube again. Our system remembers the changes you make, which means that when you go back to the earlier release of PHP which was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be activated. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be operated from the PHP Configuration area of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Any adjustment that you make takes literally just a mouse-click and it will take effect immediately.
