hosting - asking for advice

I have a dotgeek.org free account, but they are about to leave
PostgreSQL for MySQL which is too bad. Can you suggest me a
free/cheap PostgreSQL host where I can test an open-source program?
No web hosting is needed, only a single database with TCP/IP access
enabled, plus ability to load a C-language function to the server. There
is also a list at http://techdocs.postgresql.org/hosting.php, but I have
no time to study it, and want to hear your suggestion anyway.

Thank you, Gabor

If you are just testing, why aren't you just using your desktop to host
the server?

That makes it trickier. I think it is possible to get it to install on
W98, but the FAT file system isn't safe. There were some messages discussing
this within the last couple of months. For just playing around the file
system problem shouldn't be a problem.
