IonCube
Find out what IonCube is and why it’s set up on virtually every server running PHP today.
Lots of script-driven applications, especially paid cms, encode their files to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. The majority of them use an app known as ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you purchase a paid script and you want to set it up in a web hosting account, a software instrument known as ionCube Loader needs to be present on your server. Without it, you will not be able to install the script or in case you somehow manage to do that, it won't function effectively due to the fact that almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. That's why, you have to make sure that ionCube Loader is set up if you get a fresh website hosting account and you want to take advantage of some paid web app. If you acquire a shared hosting account and the tool is not present, it can't be added because the entire server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
