Mod_Gzip is an external extension module for Apache 1.3 web servers implemented to help with size reduction of web pages served over HTTP. The alternative of mod_gzip for Apache 2 is called mod_deflate and it is enabled on all Hostlantern shared servers.
You can enable mod_deflate for your website directly from your cPanel > Optimize Website, or by adding the following lines to your .htaccess file:

# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won't work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch\bMSI[E]!no-gzip!gzip-only-text/html
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary

If you are still running an Apache 1.3 web server and you have mod_gzip installed and loaded in Apache's configuration, you can enable it by adding the following options in an .htaccess file for your hosting account:
