[Zope] - Zope Hosting: Sharing vs Dedicated

[Robert OConnor]

I would like to understand these issues
more clearly:

*Sharing Zope hosting as planned by
http://www.codeit.com/announce.html

AND

*Dedicated Zope with a dedicated server.  


The February issue of WEBTechniques 
was where I first learned about ZOPE aka bobo.
In that issue www.9netave.net  (1) has
an ad for a "dedicated server including
hardware" for *ONLY* $99/month!

I have started to look locally and here
in central Maine www.ctel.net  (1) would let
me put my hardware at their center
with "Dual T3's" for $300/month.  With
their rack mount hardware, it's $550/month.

There seems to be a benefit to having
one's own server connected to a big
pipe.  

Now, it seems like some issues about sharing
zope have not been resolved.

Say I share a Zope server with
my one domain name and sell service
to _my_ customers.  

* What databases can I use?  
*Can I use add-on products?
* Do they have to be tested by the Host
service first?  

*How do I get charged If I want to
add a second and more
domain names?

I've started to look at these options because
Hosting at my location would be very
expensive with a small pipe.   Cable modems
which aren't here yet may be problematic
in their own way.

Of course, the bottom line is the cost:

~Shared: US$50/month +...
VS
~Dedicated: $100 to $300 to infinity and beyond!

I look forward to thoughts and Ideas from
others.

Note: (1)  I have no interest or connections
with these companies...  Just listed as
examples.
