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.

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.

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.

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.
