[Zope] shared/virtual hosting recommendations

[AM Thomas]

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!
