[Zope] Hosting?

[J. Atwood]

Try http://www.rackspace.com.

You can start off with a 600 MHz, 128 MB Ram, 30 GB EIDE drive for about
$300 a month. They have great support and bandwidth and claim to be the
largest installed base of RH Linux. They also scale pretty well. I have
about 10 boxes with them for about year now.

Cheers,
J
