I'm not sure I understand all the terms being used here like 'virtual
server" and "shared hosting" but my company has an arrangement with an
ISP in Florida that allows us to provide non-profits with a plone
instance for $10/mo. We have 2 zservers so far hosting several sites.
Very quick response time from the ISP who does the initial installation
for a small fee. A Zope instance can range from $20-$50.. depending on
emails and database support needed .. also depends on how many domains
will be mapped to the Zope instance. I can highly recommnend CNIWeb -

I think the issue that is of immediate relevance to small-to-medium NGOs
(and others) is that it is currently quite difficult to find quality,
reasonably priced, Plone hosting services that are approachable for new
site administrators who need something less than a dedicated server.
This is due to the non-LAMPy nature of Plone/Zope (and is a huge issue
for Ruby On Rails, Django, Turbogears, etc., too!).
I have personally seen this be barrier to nonprofits entering the Plone
ecosystem, and more importantly to NGO-friendly consultants who are
looking to get their feet wet with their first few projects.
I suspect (but lack the technical expertise to be sure) that some sort
of control panel packaging would help a lot. Maybe this is something
to take up to the developers list.
