Zope is a long running CGI process, and it would be impossible to load
Zope on your ISP's machine. They wouldn't like it if you did anyway,
because Zope eats up CPU cycles and a bit of RAM. Also, they probably
don't have Python installed, so it is doubtful that you'd be able to
load it. Furthermore, without shell access, configuring & testing
everything would be near-impossible. 

Your best bet is to find an ISP that supports Zope at
(http://www.zope.org/Resources/ZSP).
