Sure.  You can sign up for Dreamhost.  I used the code MDDR which is
$29 for an entire year (reg. $120/year).  However, you must realize
the problems with shared hosting.  Especially with Zope/Python and
most other scripts running on Apache, if your processes use too much
CPU time, they may get ulimited.  So, a nice Xen instance gives you a
fair amount of room.  And you can install whatever you want.
Sometimes there are benefits to managing your own configurations.  You
have freedom.  But if you don't care, sure, use a shared hosting
server.  But I thought you guys were hackers!
