What do you mean with that? You are going to build a framework that 
lets nonprofits to build their sites to your Zope or what?

Well there are spanish Zope developers, possibly there could be some 
work or help if they find your project interesting. Or atleast you 
might find new friends who could guide you to sifferent directions.

Well first of all you could ask if it is allowed to run zope at all. 
If they allow cgis to be run, there is a good chance that Zope would 
also be allowed. You can download the binary release and use that 
really easily.

Ask how you could run Zope. Either with PCGI - or if they will compile 
  FastCGI then use that. If - which is unlikely - they allow you run 
Zope with Zserver then be happy with that and use rewrites and wirtual 
host monster.

But ask first from the hosting company.

Hope this helps you atleast a bit.
