There are quite a few services that host PostgreSQL. Google can help you
- "postgresql hosting". Alternately, you can use a "cloud hosting"
provider like Amazon's EC to run a VM with PostgreSQL on it, though you
shouldn't expect much from the performance of such a setup.

if you found specific hosts listed there that do not in fact offer
postgres, it would be quite helpful to provide a list of those you've
contacted so the web folks can update their listings.

Any suggestions about inaccurate info there would be appreciated.  I
know for sure that you can get inexpensive PostgreSQL hosting from two
of the US companies listed there:  hub.org provides shared hosts via
FreeBSD jails, and A2 hosting has a variety of Linux-based offerings.

The whole "cloud" thing is more trouble than its worth IMHO for a lot of
these situations, given how inexpensive these more permanent installs
are.  Seems like I'm always fighting to persist my data properly in any
cloud deployment.  The main upside as I see for that work is that you
end up with easy to replicate installs for scaling applications out, but
if it's only a single server you're targeting I feel like the cloud
setup overhead just isn't worth it in most cases.
