IonCube Loader is a software instrument, which is needed to run files which are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an app designed to make PHP code human unreadable, in order to protect it from reverse engineering and / or illegal usage. Plenty of script-driven applications, particularly discussion forums, cms and electronic commerce solutions are encoded with ionCube PHP Encoder, therefore if you acquire a script and you find that ionCube is among the web hosting environment requirements, you should make sure that your hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. Although it's not that difficult to install it when you have your own server, it is close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server because the PHP environment should be precompiled and all the clients on the server shall be affected.
