Plenty of script-driven apps, especially paid content management systems, encode their files to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so, in case you acquire a paid script and you want to install it in a website hosting account, a software tool called ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without having it, you cannot install the script or if you somehow find a way to do this, it won't function appropriately due to the fact that most of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you should ensure that ionCube Loader is present if you get a new website hosting account and you would like to take advantage of some paid web application. If you acquire a shared web hosting account and the instrument is not present, it cannot be added since your entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.

IonCube Loader is supplied with each web hosting plan that we supply and you can enable it at any time with only a few clicks, so you will be able to use script applications that need it. You'll be able to do that through the PHP Configuration area of your Hepsia Control Panel and all it'll take to enable or deactivate ionCube is to click a button.
