Do you have a blog / website hosted at BlueHost.com? You may ever be faced with error stating that your script cannot be run because it needs IonCube loader to be installed. How to fix that? Recently I contacted Bluehost support teams and they told me that the solution is easy. Curious?

About IonCube, in a glance..
A PHP extension called the ionCube Loader handles the reading and execution of encoded files at run time. The encoding products were subsequently ported to FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, and the range of products expanded to offer additional features such as product licensing and encryption of non-PHP files.
