The PHP extensions IonCube and Zend Guard Loader are now supported at Gigahost.
Per-site PHP extensions
Some PHP systems require either IonCube or Zend Guard Loader to work because they are protected by a certain kind of Digital Rights Management (DRM). Until now, we have not been able to offer support for these extensions because we did not wish to run proprietary software on customer websites. Now we have developed a way to enable PHP extensions for each website, making it possible for each customer to make the choice.
IonCube and Zend Guard Loader can be enabled for each website individually using the Control Center.
PHP 5.5 beta
In other PHP-related news, we are now offering PHP 5.5 beta 3. Since PHP 5.5 itself is not finished, we recommend using it only for testing and development for the new PHP version. A final release of PHP 5.5 is expected later in the summer.
