You can host Zotonic on (almost) any vps. Best is to have one with 512MB memory, though 256 might work fine. More cpu cores means faster, Erlang tends to scale linear.
We have seen vps-s as low as 10US$ per month that have enough memory.

If you are looking for shared host try webfaction. While not "officially" supported, you can install anything you like in your webapps folder. The staff at Webfaction was very helpful in getting me up and running.

Can you set a demo website with public access?

Hi Marc How does Zotnic supports internationaliztion, if at all at this stage?

@Miguel We are looking into a 'public' demo site
@Uri There is some support, especially in the templates. We are using .po files for the translations. What is missing is support in the admin to enter multuliingual resources (pages), even when the core of the system supports multilingual content.
Zotonic looks very promising and very nice interface. Is Zotonic something like an server-application, like Apache PHP and such? What are the dependencies I have to look for at webhosting services so it works? And how can I get it work on my windows computer? Will you setup a online-demo site, please?

Looks very promising. Does it support MySQL too? Most hosting environments support MySQL but not PostgreSQL...

@vladimir make sure you have a recent version of Erlang installed, R13B03 or newer. Some Linux distros come with very old versions.
@Jack You could see Zotonic as a combination of Apache and PHP. It has its own web server. Dependencies are Erlang, Postgres, ImageMagick. Some people got it running on Windows.
@Rene Sorry, at the moment we are not planning MySQL support. First on our list is a distributed, fault tolerant version.

How are things going with a distributed, fault-tolerant version of Zotonic?
Also, are you considering CouchDB (or something similar) as the backend for the D/F-T version? If not, what compromises will Postgres force? Will both reads and writes be distributed?
