shared/virtual hosting recommendations
Hi everybody, I'm looking for good, solid, somewhat helpful Zope hosting for my several very small customers (five main domains) and myself. I found the long list of hosting providers on the Zope.org site (at http://www.zope.org/Resources/ZSP/), but I was hoping for personal endorsements, or a pointer to personal endorsements. Now is the time to praise your hosting provider! Maybe this would be less annoying to people with actual coding/configuring/installing problems if you sent your response to me, then I compile and publish the responses. I'm completely willing to do this. Zettai.net looks promising; they'll serve up 5 domains for $240, 10 for $390, which is roughly (very roughly - I'm interested in quality here) the price range I'm looking for. However, I've been unable to find ratings/testimonials anywhere but on their own site. I did search the recent e-groups archives of this list for "hosting" (no hits). I've also looked at a couple of hosting ranking sites, but couldn't find anything specifically for Zope hosts (nor a way to search for them), and I'm not sure I really trust that kind of thing anyway. I thought about just managing my own co-located server, but frankly I don't enjoy dealing with the interface between my own systems and the rest of the world; I'd just like to have someone else configure the server and set up the system initially, as long as I can muck around on it when I want to add another feature. So, I don't necessarily need a FreeBSD jail setup, but I very much want to be able to set up / have set up for me: Plone, a few other products, and my ancient custom product that some of my sites are running (which I hope to improve upon). One other thing I've discovered is important to me: being able to send e-mail messages from the server that _aren't_ likely to be blocked as spam. That means that if the server is on spam / open relay blacklists, it could be a problem. If you've had issues like this one, I'd like to hear about it, but I may or may not include it in the compiled information. This is my best guess for where to post this question. I'd be happy to be directed elsewhere. Thanks! - AM

Well, I would have recommended them in the past, but they've shown themselves too be beligerent and infelxible once too often for me to be able to do that anymore. So, I'm also interested in recommendations ;- cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
This is a follow-up to my original question about shared zope hosts. So far I've gotten some pretty good feedback on Zettai.net -- does anyone have recommendations for other hosting companies? Maybe OpenHosting.com or Interlix, for example? Thanks, AM
