How to enable the zip archive module in shared hosting.
A zip archive is a process or tool installed on your web hosting server that allows you to archive a file with a script or command.Why do you need to extract a compressed file from your web hosting server?If you were to simply upload one or two files of small size, you would either use the file manager in your hosting account or use a FTP client.If you need to migrate a website to a new hosting server or download a complete backup of it, what do you do?You will have to wait for too long for the transfer queue to be completed if you choose to do it in either of the situations.Everyone likes to compress all the files before uploading them to a server.Transferring compressed files is very fast.If you want to take a full backup of your site from a hosting service that doesn't support the zip archive feature, you'll have a hard time.In this post, I will show you how to enable the zip archive support module on your shared hosting from Godaddy.
