Hi Mahen: Zope is built on top a web application server platform, written in Python itself. Object think is central to Zope, while most platforms continue to think in terms of files. A website is thus composed of objects in a object database ie. Zope object database, which persists Python objects. This affords great flexibility in web applications dev. A good overview is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zope >From a web hosting perspective, Zope is resource intensive and so service provides do not typically provide it on the same servers where other hosting environments like LAMP are setup. While running Zope, you don't necessarily need Apache as a webserver and thus the focus shifts completely to Zope administration if you have a dedicated IP and a leased line. For what purpose are you using Zope in your organization ? thanks Saifi.
