Thread: php + postgresql website ?

i can name a lot of website written in mysql and php.
currently, i am planning to use postgresql database for my next
project. i know there is a lot of testimonial about postgresql is
better than mysql.
can anyone please give me an example of website using postgresql database?

http://board.crewcial.org

currently in flux as we're finishing up a dev version, but we've been
running postgres since 7.4, currently on 8.1.. with around 7 million
rows of data totaling a few GB. traffic is around 300k hits a day.

nothing crazy, but it works really well.

There is a list of hosting providers at
http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_hosting

I clicked on the first North American one there, A2 Hosting, and found
plans starting at $7/month.  hub.org has them starting at $8, there's a
lot of places to poke through there.  You might not get all the way down
to $5 but there are options close to that.

Be sure and look here:

http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_hosting

for companies that host postgresql.  There are a few in there that are
in the $10 a month range.

I can't give you a direct example, but I use postgres for all of my
webpages with database ranging from a view MB to up to several GB with
tens of thausends of rows.

I haven't had any trouble since the 5 years I am using it ...
