This falls under "make a list of recommended hosting companies" for your
clients ... there are alot of companies out there that offer PostgreSQL
hosting ... I don't know how flexible they are to adding modules, but I
know that we (http://www.hub.org) definitely do, and I believe that
Joshua's company (http://www.commandprompt.com) does as well ... that was
my big buy-into PostgreSQL back in '95, the fact that you could extend
things through modules ... seems silly to provide PostgreSQL and not be
willing to make use of that big feature ...
