IonCube
What is IonCube? Why is it present on almost any present-day server running PHP?
A lot of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encrypt their files to ensure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do that, so when you buy a paid script and you want to set it up in a hosting account, a tool called ionCube Loader needs to be present on the server. Without having it, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it won't operate properly because almost all of the script code will be encoded to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is installed when you get a new website hosting account and you wish to employ some paid web app. If you buy a shared website hosting account and the tool 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 installed on all of the web servers that are a part of our cloud website hosting platform, so regardless of the
cloud web hosting that you get during the signup process, you'll be able to enable it through the Hepsia Control Panel. This process is as easy as clicking an On/Off button from the Advanced section, so even if this is your first web hosting account ever, you won't have to do anything complicated. The exact same section will allow you to pick 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), and if you choose to move to another version, you just have to activate ionCube Loader for it too. Due to the fact that our platform is rather flexible, you may even set some other PHP version and a different status of ionCube using a php.ini file in every domain folder. If this is something you'd like to do but you don't have much experience, our 24/7 tech support team shall assist you within minutes.
