A lot of script-driven apps, especially paid cms, encode their files in order to ensure that they will not be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an application known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so if you purchase a paid script and you'd like to set it up in a website hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on your server. Without having it, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do that, it won't operate efficiently as most of the script code will be encoded to a point where it cannot be interpreted. That is why, you need to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a new web hosting account and you would like to take advantage of some paid web application. If you obtain a shared hosting account and the instrument is not present, it can't be added since the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
