I've been using Zettai.net for a while now and they've been pretty good. They've got all the basic stuff for minimal cost on the "Shared" plans. You can go with freezope.org, but I havent tried them, plus they have a bunch of limitations being a free service. At Zettai you get Mysql or Postgresql and on the Shared plans all the products are setup so you just start up and start working. While I like Zettai, I have recently started using Unixshell.com and will be moving all my hosting there eventually. However, you have to be able to do *all* your own Linux mangement. For me it's great because of the full control I get (for cheap), but it might not be good for newbies. Unixshell.com is not a Zope hosting provider, they are a VPS service, so you can run your own Zope server. (BTW, they are using Xen virtualization, and I am totally impressed!) My 2 cents.

Can someone recommend a zope enabled internet provider? Frank

Here are several you can look into:

- http://www.objectis.org/

- http://www.zettai.net/

- http://www.python-hosting.com/

Which is right for you depends on what capabilities your need:

- High volume?

- Access to the ZMI?

- Ability to install Zope Products?

- Ability to implement external methods?

- Access to a relational database?

- Etc.

Some Zope hosting providers offer a range of plans at different costs and with different capabilities.

And, you can also look in this list of resources:

Also, of course, do a search for "zope hosting" in your favorite Web search tool.

I have the 64 MB account and I run Apache, Mysql, Firebird, and Zope. (plus Courier mail) If I run only apache, Zope, and Mysql, 64 MB worked fine, but with mail and Firebird it's running about 20MB on the swap now. Of course, I setup Debian on it and omitted everything from running that didnt need to be there. Even tweeked Apache the best I could to limit processes, but it's working great for me. The only disadvantage to running Unixshell.com is that you are on your own as far as management goes. You have to do all the security and setup yourself. But they have this kick ass installer from the web that sets up an image from your fav distro. It's pretty sweet if you like the control and dont mind spending the time to setup everything. A big advantage that they have is, for a VPS solution, you arent docked for running over your memory. See, if I go to 80MB, it just used some swap. It's just like I had my own server with a fixed amount of ram. If I went with other VPS solutions, I would be charged for using more memory. And since I dont know what resources I might need, that wouldnt work. I've never ran Plone, so I dont know what is involved or what kind of resource you would need. I have a low traffic setup, but I have one client that runs a billing/customer tracking Zope/mysql app with 4 users on it all day and I havent had any trouble. Best I can say is, try it for a month. It's only $15 - $20 to see if it will fit your needs. If you decide to go with them, send me an email and I'll give you a few tips to get started as I was really confused at first. (regarding the remote console and ssh) It's very cool what they have going, but it's "unmanaged" and you have to be willing to run it yourself. (they manage the hardware and netowrk of course.) On the other hand, Zettai.net has been great for me too. I think they have separate Plone hosting from their Zope hosting now. They have been very reliable and have good support. Plus you dont have to do any setup on the server itself, so you can be running quickly. But, again, if you like the total control, the Unixshell.com rocks.

Greg,

I saw their website, and average plan gives 96 to 256 of RAM. If you install Plone, isn't a little amount of RAM ?

Thanks
