[Zope] beehive zope hosting (OT?)

[Reto M. Kiefer]

Dear all,

> I can not see how zope hosting in itself will ever pay for its cost.

In the case of a fully automated setup + administration + maintaining it
would be possible, and that is what we should consider to build.

Joachim, I never intended any offense considering iuveno prices, but you
have to admit that hosting with a LAMP installation is much cheaper (that is
the _only_ reason for running my sites with PHP/MySQL). And if you are
running non/half-commercial sites that is a point to consider... or renting
a dedicated server.

Yes I agree and this is real problem for the popularity of Zope. It is a
discrepancy between the easy setup/usage of zope and finding an appropriate
hoster... I would enjoy statements from Zopists outside
Germany/Switzerland - just for the case it is a *local* problem.

I am sharing this belief and have a lot plans to reach this goal...

> That said, I willingly help for any attempt to make Zope hosting easy.

I would join such an attempt too...
