IonCube
What's IonCube? Precisely how does IonCube work and when do you need it for your PHP software?
IonCube Loader is a software instrument, which is necessary to run files which are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder. The aforementioned is an app that is used to make PHP code human unreadable, to protect it from reverse engineering or unauthorized usage. A lot of script-driven applications, especially forums, content management systems and e-commerce solutions are encrypted with ionCube PHP Encoder, which means that when you acquire a script and you find that ionCube is one of the website hosting environment requirements, you should ensure that your website hosting server has the tool pre-installed. Although it's not that difficult to set it up if you have your own server, it is almost impossible to do that on a shared web hosting server since the PHP environment should be precompiled and all the clients on the server will be affected.

The process is as simple as right-clicking an On/Off button in the Advanced section, so even if this will be your first web hosting account ever, you will not have to do anything complicated. The same section will allow you to select the PHP version for your account (4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2), and in case you would like to move to some other version, you only have to activate ionCube Loader for it as well.
