I am happily using CodeIt.  They offer several options above "basic" Zope
hosting:

  * Install your own products (this is their "professional" option).

  * Add disk space cheaply (they quoted me $0.50/month for each added 10 Mb).

  * Add domains, mapping them to separate Zope folders, for $10/mo each.

They don't offer shell access -- I FTP products, export files, etc., into a
"home directory" with a slightly oddball layout.

Zope wants to be a long-running process, with significant CPU and RAM
requirements;  most ISPs don't appreciate you running such a beast, so ask
first.
