What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been freely available since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by taking PHP's intermediate code through multiple Optimization Passes, which replace inefficient code patterns with efficient code blocks. The replacement code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.
In addition to performance-improvement, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Encoder or Zend SafeGuard Suite.
The Zend Optimizer is a freely-available product from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies is the company that develops the scripting engine of PHP, also known as the Zend Engine.

Zend Optimizer is installed at the server level. So, yes, your webhost would need to install it.

Have you installed the Tester script prior to installing the Zend version? The tester will check your server settings and tell you which version to download. Most servers are ready "out-of-the-box" for at least one version. IonCube might still be an option for you without having to involve your webhost support.
