I certainly would, although at the moment I am trying a company. I left my previous provider of 5+ years because they didn't have postgresql support. I was extremely happy with my previous ISP, but I needed postgresql. I must admit that I am been much more patient with this new provider I am trying due to the lack of alternatives. If there were other alternatives I may not be so patient.

Would a PostgreSQL only hosting environment be of interest?

Hello, Over here at Command Prompt we are considering starting a small dedicated hosting division for PostgreSQL users. This would be a business class service and would run on our redundant 6Mb connection. Would this interest any PostgreSQL users? We are not really looking to be a rackspace as much as a specialized business database hosting provider to accent our current product line.

Hi guys, As a lot of people would already know, on the techdocs.postgresql.org site there is a "PostgreSQL Hosting" page: http://techdocs.postgresql.org/hosting.php Among all the companies on this page, there is only one company (pghoster.com) which specialises in PostgreSQL hosting. Haven't heard any feedback about them, but when I first looked at their site they seemed decent. So Joshua, if you're looking to run a PostgreSQL specialised hosting solution, then good luck with it. The more the merrier I reckon. You might want to look for specialised requirements there too (i.e. redundancy, extremely high end sites, etc). :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift Francisco Reyes wrote: > > On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Joshua D.

Knew I should have clarified that. :-) They appear to focus nearly exclusively on PostgreSQL hosting, and not much else. Lots of places focus on being hosting providers... AND providing database access as a feature. pghoster.com appears to be an online PostgreSQL database provider... AND provides other things as features. The difference is in their apparent focus. :-) Well, so it seems. Haven't heard any feedback from end users so I can't tell for sure if the different focus actually has a tangible benefit or is in fact for real.
