I'm working as a technical consultant at internet24.de, it's a hosting
provider in germany. We offer PG 9.0, but you have to speak german
(contract, invoice, ...)

I am using A2 Hosting (www.a2hosting.com ) which offers 8.4... They are
inexpensive and so far reliable.

Wow, that's super cheap. Is there some catch - $5.57 / month for unlimited everything? No hidden anything?

Godaddy virtual hosting does in fact support postgresql. You have a root
account on the virtual server and you can install whatever you want.

I run several servers with them and all have postgresql, some virtual, some
dedicated servers.

Haven't tried their shared servers though, so I can't say anything about
those.

Hope that helps.

PS: for a company that size their customer support isn't too shabby either.

Rimu hosting allows you to install whatever you want, including
Postgres... which I have done before now. If your project is in support
of Open Source software in any way, ask what discount they can offer,
they have been pretty generous in that arena.

http://rimuhosting.com/

Like many hosting companies, they allow you to install & run Postgres,
but do not provide support for it. Although given the technical
competencies of their support staff, you may find one of them will be
able to help anyway.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I am looking at rimuhosting right now. I
looked at godaddy and while they do allow me to install stuff and there
prices are very reasonable, I am a firm believer in you get what you pay
for. I think it would be better for me to spend 30-40 a month then 5-10 a
month for hosting. The reviews I have read so far about rimuhosting seem on
the whole very positive and looking over their packages and the os/hardware
packages I am quite happy. My project is nearing the point where I need it
hosted separately not just locally on my box. It is still a long way from
complete but it is getting to the point where I need a permanent structure,
that I don't have to mimic across 2 or 3 development boxes. I am planning
on releasing the project under some sort of open source license so the
discount idea sounds good to me.

Something similar is http://www.linode.com/ and even http://www.slicehost.com. I personally have not used either but linode comes with great recommendations from friends.

Thanks, but I tried that originally and the companies that come up have
either poor ratings, won't support postgres, won't allow me the freedom to
run my own software, or after talking with them I realized there was PEBKAC
issues with there support staff. I also, as stated earlier, won't go with
the cheap, low end companies due to common sense issues such as server load,
service/support issues, and cheap hardware.

I use A2 Hosting as well, they've been very good value for money. My
