Hey,

From a google search >> "postgis mapserver hosting"
-> http://www.google.de/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=postgis+mapserver+hosting

I got two interesting products on the first two sites:

http://www.mapserverpro.com/
and
http://htmlx.com/hosting/basic_gis_hosting.php

maybe this is what you are looking for? At least mapserverpro.com looks interesting me...

regards and have fun!

Does anyone offer cloud hosting of geo-spatial databases?

Obviously, Amazon web services will host pretty much anything so long as you 
install and maintain the software, but I am looking for someone who maintains 
the necessary database.

Preferably Postgres / PostGIS / MapServer

======================================================
Amazon EC2 Relational Database is basically MySQL, for example: 
http://aws.amazon.com/running_databases. They do provide some kind of Postgres image, but 
it seems designed primarily to support Ruby on Rails, and as it is described as 
"provided by Sun Microsystems" its future sounds cloudy! I have also looked at 
the three cloud providers mentioned in the Postgres FAQ, but none sound interested in 
geospatial.

NB this is more about long-term requirements than an immediate need, so I would 
be pleased to hear about people starting up.

Thanks for any suggestions

Humphrey Southall
