Plenty of script-driven applications, particularly paid cms, encrypt their files to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Many of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you obtain a paid script and you'd like to install it in a website hosting account, a software instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without having it, you can't install the script or in case you somehow manage to do that, it will not work efficiently because most of the script code will be encoded to a point where it can't be interpreted. In this light, you should make sure that ionCube Loader is installed if you get a new web hosting account and you want to use some paid web app. If you buy a shared website hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added because the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
