Jeff,

I have cc'ed your question to the list, not to defer it, but to let you
pick the brains of several people who have tried, some successful, some
not, to run zope as a user in a web hosting environment.  None of us
here have tried it so we're not really the ones to ask.  It is true
there is no documentation on Zope with web hosting, perhaps your
discussion will provide information for the Zope Documentation Project,
AKA the Martijn Conspiracy.

As I understand it, the web hosting provider you pick is key to the
whole issue.  If they run the kind of environment that works with Zope,
great.  If they don't (and most probably don't by default) you must
communicate to them clearly what you want.  If they are cooperative and
cool, they will oblige you and join our Zope hosting family.  If you
can't get ahold of them and/or they don't care, your out of luck unless
you go with a Zope friendly provider of which there are two to be found
here.:
