I have a small site being developed in Zope (version 2.4.1) that will use PostgreSQL as the database and I need to develop it with two others who are remote. I found NIP doing a Google search, but I was wondering if there are others that will host Zope and PostgreSQL in a non-dedicated server environment and who would do it well. I checked Valueweb, Interland, and Rackspace. All would do it dedicated, but PHP/mySQL appears to be the non-dedicated option. Valueweb's site says they support Python, Perl, and PHP, but I am not sure if Zope fits under the Python/Perl category. Wanted a recommendation before I start making calls.

1. The site needs email list management and a method to send receive them. Seems like Mailman and Sendmail are the natural choices or does Zope have a product or interface that can handle that need. The list manager will need to be able to send email reminders to a single email address or list on self-scheduled basis. Are these the right tools?

2. The site is a "community" type site where individuals can login and save information related to self-improvement and share it with others (either the public at large or specified email addresses). Any recommendations as to Zope products that should be considered.

5. Finally, there will be some minor banner ads put on the site. Any recommendations on a good banner ad product or tool that is Zope friendly.
