I have been running a hostgis server for about a year using it for mapserver and postgis. Works great and I have been very happy with them.

I think what Bob is looking for is more like an application built on top of the database.

But if you look at the problem as you just need a small or large server with postgres/postgis running on it - then hostgis should work great.

I haven't used them; I am in the process of making the same transition that you are. Even though they are more expensive, these folks are in the top 5 on my list because they know GIS and seem to know how geography is a bit different (for now, I guess) than other data types.

Best,

    Hi
I am developing a PostgreSQL/PostGIS application (Geometric not
    Geographic).
I want to have the database on the web with a desktop user interface
    and viewer.
The usual method is to install a PostgreSQL server on a website and
    go from there.
However, seeking a more flexible approach, I would like to explore
    other possibilities.
Is anyone aware of a PostgreSQL/PostGIS installation, either as a
    website or cloud based system, that allows users to access, install
    and run single or multiple databases, and be charged accordingly?
It would be something like having an "on demand" database capability. Is this a service that would be useful to others? Bob
