Hosts and ionCube Loaders

Because 68 Classifieds is encoded using the ionCube Encoder, you must have the ionCube Loaders. These can be downloaded for free at http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php and installation instructions are provided at http://www.ioncube.com/loader_installation.php. Normally your host will install these for you without problems. However, some hosts are unwilling to install the ionCube Loaders. These hosts include GoDaddy, Network Solutions and Yahoo so they are not recommended.

We've had a number of customers report success with the following hosts:

• Bluehost
• HostGator
