What is needed to host a website using the platform. (no need to answer.. zope ??)
yes, but zserver is not generally considered robust enough for deploying "bare" on the internet. It is normal to put it behind something - apache, squid...
I what way is ZServer not generally considered robust enough?

Interesting. Are there any plans to solve this in a near future. Not using is a front-end is indeed less messy to setup (also without ssl-support).

no. its a matter of chosing the right tool for the job.... A front-end proxy is a poweful tool that fulfills many jobs (more than just DOS-protection) that would not be worth the effort to reproduce in zope.
While I would disagree that more "integrated" support for SSL in the Zope core isn't worth the effort, I strongly encourage you to take a look at Pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound/), which was designed to work in front of Zope as a Proxy/SSL wrapper. It is a high-quality piece of software and will handle what you need. Cheers, Eron On Monday 16 December 2002 12:11 pm, Toby Dickenson wrote:
