IonCube Loader is a software tool, which is necessary to run files which are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an application which is used to make PHP code human unreadable, to protect it from reverse engineering and / or illegal usage. Numerous script-driven apps, in particular message boards, cms and e-commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore when you acquire a script and you notice that ionCube is on the list of web hosting environment requirements, you need to ensure that your website hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. While it is 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 due to the fact that the PHP environment will have to be precompiled and all clients on the server will be affected.
