I would like to understand these issues more clearly: *Sharing Zope hosting as planned by http://www.codeit.com/announce.html AND *Dedicated Zope with a dedicated server. The February issue of WEBTechniques was where I first learned about ZOPE aka bobo. In that issue www.9netave.net (1) has an ad for a "dedicated server including hardware" for *ONLY* $99/month! I have started to look locally and here in central Maine www.ctel.net (1) would let me put my hardware at their center with "Dual T3's" for $300/month. With their rack mount hardware, it's $550/month. There seems to be a benefit to having one's own server connected to a big pipe. Now, it seems like some issues about sharing zope have not been resolved. Say I share a Zope server with my one domain name and sell service to _my_ customers. * What databases can I use? *Can I use add-on products? * Do they have to be tested by the Host service first? *How do I get charged If I want to add a second and more domain names? I've started to look at these options because Hosting at my location would be very expensive with a small pipe. Cable modems which aren't here yet may be problematic in their own way. Of course, the bottom line is the cost: ~Shared: US$50/month +... VS ~Dedicated: $100 to $300 to infinity and beyond! I look forward to thoughts and Ideas from others. Note: (1) I have no interest or connections with these companies... Just listed as examples. -bobo connor
