IonCube Loader is an instrument, which is needed to run files that are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an app that is used to make PHP code human unreadable, as a way to protect it from reverse engineering or not authorized use. A large number of script-driven applications, especially discussion forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that if you purchase a script and you find that ionCube is one of the hosting environment prerequisites, you need to make sure that your hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Though it is not that difficult to install it when you have your own server, it is close to 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.
