IonCube
Discover what IonCube is and the reasons why it’s installed on pretty much every server running PHP today.
IonCube Loader is a software instrument, that's needed to run files that are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an application designed to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering or illegal usage. A large number of script-driven applications, especially online forums, content management systems and e-commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that when you obtain a script and you notice that ionCube is one of the web hosting environment prerequisites, you have to ensure that your website hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Though it's not that hard to set it up when you have your own server, it is almost impossible to do that on a shared hosting server since the PHP environment should be precompiled and all of the clients on the server will be affected.

IonCube in Shared Web Hosting
If you buy a
Linux shared web hosting service from us, it will be set up on our tailor-made cloud platform where ionCube Loader is already installed, so you won't have any kind of problems to manage any script application that requires the instrument so as to function appropriately. Furthermore, we provide a few different versions of PHP, which means that if you switch the version, you'll need to activate ionCube again. Our platform remembers the adjustments you make, and in case you move back to the earlier release of PHP that was active for your account, ionCube Loader will already be enabled. The PHP version and the ionCube tool can be managed from the PHP Configuration section of our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Each adjustment that you do takes literally just a click and it'll take effect without delay.
