A lot of script-driven applications, especially paid content management systems, encrypt their files so as to make sure that they won't be reverse engineered or tampered with. Most of them use an app called ionCube PHP Encoder to do this, so when you get a paid script and you want to set it up in a hosting account, an instrument known as ionCube Loader has to be present on the server. Without it, you will not be able to install the script or if you somehow manage to do this, it won't work efficiently because almost all of the script code will be encrypted to a degree where it cannot be interpreted. In this light, you need to ensure that ionCube Loader is present when you get a new hosting account and you want to employ some paid web application. If you acquire a shared web hosting account and the tool is not present, it cannot be added since the whole server PHP environment shall have to be compiled again.
