IonCube Loader is a tool, that's required to run files which are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The latter is an app which is used to make PHP code human unreadable, so as to protect it from reverse engineering or unauthorized use. A great number of script-driven apps, in particular discussion boards, content management systems and electronic commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that if you buy a script and you find that ionCube is one of the website hosting environment prerequisites, you should make sure that your hosting server has the instrument pre-installed. While it's not that hard to install it when you have your own server, it's close to impossible to do that on a shared hosting server since the PHP environment shall have to be precompiled and all the clients on the server shall be affected.
