Try http://www.rackspace.com. You can start off with a 600 MHz, 128 MB Ram, 30 GB EIDE drive for about $300 a month. They have great support and bandwidth and claim to be the largest installed base of RH Linux. They also scale pretty well. I have about 10 boxes with them for about year now. Cheers, J

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a commercial Zope hosting service for me. I've looked at the resources page on zope.org, and I have a couple feelers out, but I'd like to ask the community for recommendations as well.
Requirements:
I need a system that can handle a potentially very heavy load, though at first it will be quite small - we're a startup and have no customers yet.
Location: We're in the northeast USA and most of our users will probably be in the US as well, so I'd prefer a service in North America.
Zope: 2.2 at least, and access to install new products and external methods. I'm currently on codeit.com, but they have zope 2.1 and I need zope >= 2.2 so I can use my custom product derived from PTK 0.9.
Storage: We're doing things with digital images - *big* ones - so we need to start at about 100 MB and will need to grow; we'll be storing a *lot* of data for our users. Eventually (probably not until later in 2001) we'll need MUCH more - possibly up to 1 GB eventually. (Beyond that point we will probably just rent a server at rackspace.com or somewhere but first we need to be able to develop a big enough customer base to pay for it.)
Data transfer: Several times greater than storage. Users will upload large files which we will then download to our local network, so that's at least 2x our storage needs, plus there's the transfer involved in just using the site.
Pricing: since our storage requirements will be continually growing, I'd like a payment plan that enables us to pay for the storage we need and add more as needed.
