Installing IonCube in cPanel

IonCube is required to run many encrypted PHP applications. Most modern cPanel servers include IonCube by default, but if it's not enabled, you can easily activate it using the steps below.

Enable IonCube via cPanel

1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. Go to Select PHP Version or MultiPHP INI Editor (depending on your hosting setup).
3. In the PHP extensions list, find and enable ioncube_loader.
4. Click Save or Apply.

Enable IonCube via WHM (for root / reseller users)

1. Log in to WHM.
2. Go to EasyApache 4.
3. Edit your current profile.
4. Under the PHP Extensions section, search for ioncube.
5. Enable the IonCube Loader for the PHP versions you want.
6. Provision the updated profile.

Once installed, you can verify IonCube is active by uploading a phpinfo() file or checking your application requirements.
