Steven,

Several Suggestions:

1) you can search through the offers and/or post a host quote with your requirements (including PHP zend-accelarator).

2) you can go to the zend site and see the hosts their that have zend installed

http://www.zend.com/hosting_sites/phphosting.php

CGI is a programing language where Zend is a code optimizer.

I'd be surprised if a host DIDN'T offer Zend.

I know networkeleven.com has plans with PHP w/ Zend

do you specifically want zend accelerator?

you could look for a host that uses other (faster) caches such as turck.

Actually there is Zend Optimizer and Zend Accelerator. Zend Accelerator is a retail product with the lowest possible price (That I am aware of) being $295.00 per CPU per server and that is without updates or support. Zend Optimizer only optimizes the code, it is not an accelerator.

Together both Zend Optimizer (which is free) and Zend Accelerator smoke any other PHP accelerator/caching software including Turck, MMCache and Ioncube. I would assume that is because Zend wrote the PHP language to begin with...

@stevybo
I would ask the specific questions to the hosts you consider. Unfortunately I don't know for sure of any hosts that use that combination that I would be permitted to recommend. I would also bet that you wouldn’t find this type of software on your run-of-the-mill budget hosting either.
