Hi,
The german company beehive stopped hosting Zope!!!! Why? I mean it's been the only company in germany (as far as I know) who were hosting Zope. And I think it is a shame for a company who is publishing books on Zope to just cancel their Zope hosting.
Yes I agree to you, this is a strange behaviour. But maybe they concentrating on training and consulting (=> more revenues). But there are alternatives in Germany. Take a look at iuveno.de (the company of Joachim Werner who is quite active on this list) or at lightwerk.de... But prices are to a certain extend so high that you can almost rent a dedicated nice linux machine and zopeifying it... And yes, the book was not a good investment :( C U Reto M.
