Hey,

I'm looking for a host which offers free access to Zend Encoder Unlimited ($2400 if I buy it). Basically, this encodes your PHP scripts into an unreadable mess to be later decoded through the PHP/Zend engine with the help of a plug-in. This is good if your on a shared server with some really sweet scripts people would die for.

I found CQhost (http://www.cqhost.com/business.html) but I'm wondering if any other hosts give free access to it.


Thanks. =)

Since that would violate the license agreement I doubt you'll find it...


...the Software may be used only by Licensee's employees, only for the Authorized Use, and only at the Designated Site. Licensee may only use the Software for its internal business use and not in the operation of a service bureau, time sharing or outsourcing service or for the benefit of any other person or entity...

Well taken from the Zend Encoder Unlimited information page @ Zend <http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-encoder.php>...

"Problem: You're an ISP, and you're hosting several companies on one server. How do you prevent them from reading each other's PHP applications?

Solution: The Zend Encoder Unlimited lets you improve Web security by encoding the files, protecting them from unauthorized use. Includes extra protection against reverse engineering."

After reading this quote I get the impression it's OK and hosts can offer this.
